The term “defrocked” does not exist in the Catholic Church.
A priest can be suspended, which means he has no permission to celebrate any sacrament. Or he can be laicized, which means he is no longer a “cleric.”
There is a single exeption to the above: Any priest, whether suspended or laicized, may hear the Confession of a person in danger of death. In fact, a person who is near death could send the Pope out of the room, and have his Confession heard by a suspended or laicized priest.
A suspended or laicized priest may be otherwise in good standing with the Church, and may receive Communion, etc.
A suspended or laicized priest could, if he wished, celebrate a Mass, consecrating a Host. The Mass would be valid, but doing this would be a mortal sin for the priest.
Any person, lay or cleric, who gives a consecrated Host to anyone for any purpose other than immediate consumption, is automatically excommunicated.
Oh. Ok
Yeah, thanks for the condescending lecture.
I think my ninth grade students like me because I Never talk to them like they are stupid.
Like this.
