If a priest or a Catholic nun who leaves the race, is Discommunicated From the Catholic Church?
My husband thinks so, but I think not. We Lutherans and hope someone can give us an objective response.
- How much money is given to the Catholic Church and priest for my wedding?
- Who made this rule and not Anyone About Why get married if you are a Catholic priest or nun?
- Priest and stipends for Wedding Coordinator in the Catholic Church?
- When married by a judge Is the Catholic Church recognizes this and does a priest have to do it twice?
- Can a retired Catholic priest and a retired Catholic nun to marry another?
Do you mean "excommunicated'-?
No. If a priest or nun feels compelled to leave his vocation, seek advice and help from his spiritual director (as Mother Superior of a nun or priest, bishop).
Usually, the spiritual director will recommend a retreat with time to pray and consult a professional to determine what exactly is happening. If, in the long run, the priest or sister is going to be released from their vows, they remain Catholics. The priest remains a priest fact, even a "lay" priest. You can not administer the sacraments, except in an emergency, then he is obliged to do. He could, viable, marry, have children, in business, whatever.
Also, the former nun is free to marry or whatever. Both are still Catholics.
N remain Catholics in good condition, is called the process refer to "Secularization" which simply means that the priest or religious is reduced to a layperson.
There can be many reasons that make a priest / religious to give up this lifestyle and every case has it `s own merits and the only cause.

No, Jesus came to save sinners, how can a church to excommunicate a sinner, if Jesus would not. Those who come in the name of a righteous man will receive fair reward. He who is without sin cast the first stone. Why call me good, not good, but the Father in heaven. For the Pharisees said: "We have our law and our law says you must die"
Jesus said, because the Father sends rain on the just and unjust. But he also said that the good seed and tares grow together, and when the harvest comes apart.
Depends on the situation. If they feel they've made a mistake and just want to be a layman, then if the church agrees to become just normal people. If left in some kind of shame or denying the teachings of the church, then they are excommunicated.
Depends on the circumstances.
If they are expelled because of something like a heresy then, yes, would be excommunicated.
If a request to leave their vocation because of personal reasons, then there would not be excommunicated. Most stay in the Church as lay devotees.
With love in Christ.
Not necessarily.
First, not a race, is a vocation, a calling.
Secondly, the word is excommunicated. And all that means is that someone can not receive the sacraments, especially Holy Communion. It's a shame drugs, ie the point that, to underscore the seriousness of the conduct, the hope is the person to repent.
If a priest leaves his ministry by his own choice, they may petition the Vatican to be 'secular' or dispensed from their vows. If granted, that is completely good position in the Church can marry even if such permission is also given. But he can not act in any liturgical ministry reader, communion distributor, etc - that could cause confusion in a parish where he knows his priesthood. As Catholics, we believe that coordination leaves an indelible mark on the soul, so it never "stops being" a priest. In fact, you can even hear the confession of a dying person validly.
For religious (sisters and brothers), the process would be a little easier and run by his order, the Vatican ratehr.
If a priest or religious is removed from ministry because of misconduct or illegal, can actually be excommunicated … with the hope that it will reconcile with God and the Church.
Hope that answers your question!
Secularization does not mean excommunication. But the circumstances in question. Excommunication is when you give up the doctrine of the Church or seriously violates the right of the Church. If a priest asks to be relieved of their votes (and their superiors agree), and simply agree to live as a Catholic layman. If a priest leaves without permission, can be ordered not to celebrate Mass or the sacraments or to officially represent the Church until this issue is resolved, but their coordination is still valid.
Catholic teaching affirms priestly ordination marks the soul of a permanent basis. Only be given once and lasts forever. But this is different from having ecclestic approval to celebrate the sacraments. A former priest can celebrate a valid Mass, but not licit Mass One of them is a matter of authority, the other is a legal designation. If you win a reputation for holding illegal masses, you can get excommunicated (but still technically a priest).
The vows are a different matter. A nun or a monk is not ordained. They have extraordinary powers sacramental, so its secularization is a simple matter. But we must ask permission from his superiors. Otherwise, it's like being AWOL in the Army.
If they do not excommunicated correctly. They have to ask for release from his vows as a nun or Preist.
excommunicated
but I do not think, unless they start their own religion, saying the current one is incorrect.
if they're Catholic, no. if not commit a crime that involves going out, then no.
that's my opinion, but it sounds about right.http: / / / answers.yahoo.com question / index; …
No of course not. If he stays with the proper credentials that are still in communion with the Church. Those who do not get the official OK — Well, yes they have excommunicated themselves.
I say no. You mean when they retire, they have to leave the church? Never heard of it.
No. Not unless there is some mitigating factor, as are living with someone in a sexual relationship outside marriage.
They have to formally ask to be relieved of the vows they made. Once reason has been given and the whole process is as free as anyone else. That does not mean that they are excommunicated.
It really depends …. we Catholics tend to make the rules as we go sometimes …..
