It's a crying shame that in the name of defending the Faith, these good and holy priests are literally cast out of their parishes, left to be destitute with no pension, medical coverage, etc

They remove themselves, Mom. They become renegades because they cannot abide obedience to a bishop or Pope.

If a priest wants to go into business for himself, then he can't participate in the corporate 401K or health plan.

What about the bishops who "remove themselves" when they are not obedient to Rome or God? Why aren't they kicked out sans benefits?
