I wish journalists would learn that there is no such term as "defrocked" in the Catholic Church. I think they mean "laicized." This guy must have been an absolute whack-job and obstinate campaigner. No other type ever gets disciplined.

The term laicized is a secular one and is not found in Canon Law. The correct term is dismissal.
