But, hey, we’ve been assured that once a priest, always a priest.

They don’t get defrocked, they get shuffled around until they face trial in a secular court and have to go to prison. Even then I don’t believe that they are defrocked.

My understanding is that they can still administer sacraments, as well, as long as their intent is pure. After all, nobody is perfect.
