I would have to agree with your process of ordination which I don't.

I understand that. But for the discussion you have to grant that we believe in it.

This is why I ask, can you be "unbaptised"?

The way we view things, and you can disagree, but it doesn't change our view, a man becoming a priest is as irreversible as a man being baptised. God acts, the person is changed. Never to be reversed, never to be repeated.

Now priests who abuse their calling will find a special circle in hell, we can be sure. But they are never "unpriested."

I could grant that you believe in the tooth fairy. It is meaningless to me.

Sez you. I assign the same validity to that as I do to the tooth fairy.
