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.
