Canon 188.4 and Clerical State - 12 reasons why kurgan is wrong
The Council of Trent's "anathema" statements show us that canon 188.4 has NOTHING to do with a loss of clerical state. Once a priest, always a priest. Kurgan has avoided two simple yes/no questions that I have repeatedly asked him that prove this. So, to prove my position beyond the shadow of a doubt, I will add ten more questions to those for the kurgan to answer:
YES or NO?
1 - Upon ordination, is a character imprinted on the priest/Bishop?
2 - Can an ordained priest ever become a layman?
3 - Is ordination a true sacrament, instituted by Jesus Christ Himself?
4 - is ordination just a human invention, with no divine properties?
5 - Is the Holy Spirit given to the Bishop at ordination?
6 - When the bishop says to a priest during ordination, “Receive the Holy Spirit”, does the priest actually receive the Holy Spirit?
7 - Can sacred ordination ever be invalidated?
8 - Are priests whose lives have been debased by crime still within the Church?
9 - Does a bishop or priest whose life has been debased by crime lose their sacramental power?
10 - Can excommunicated Bishops validly ordain other bishops and priests?
11 - Can a laicized priest still hear a sacramental confession in an emergency, and confer other sacraments validly?
12 - Can a priest ever resign from the priesthood?
The answers of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church are as follows:
1 - YES
2 - NO
3 - YES
4 - NO
5 - YES
6 - YES
7 - NO
8 - YES
9 - NO
10 - YES
11 - YES
12 - NO
So, what are your answers kurgan? Are you ready to admit that a priest can never lose the clerical state, and always has the ability to validly (but not licitly) perform the sacraments?
I expect nothing but silence or name calling. You are defeated.
