Francis is being nice about it first.
He can take away this goofball’s rights to act as a priest.
It’s called forced laicization, more casually referred to as “defrocking”.
Go, Francis! I like seeing RIGHT done on the planet on occasion.
Nope. Can’t happen. The Pope can excommunicate him if he’s teaching outside the scope of the Magesterium but he can’t defrock a bishop any more than St Peter could’ve kicked St Andrew out of the group of Apostles.
Only by secular neophytes. Neither word appears in Canon Law. The correct term is dismissal.
