Doesn't he lose the title "Father" when he is defrocked? --Jiang

He's still a priest after defrocking, though the defrocking (indeed, just being put on administrative leave) forbids him to identify himself as a priest. But since this covers a period both before and after his defrocking, it's not inappropriate to use it here. -- Someone else 23:35, 23 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Actually he lost the title when he was dismissed from the clerical state. Therefore it is not appropriate to have the title "Father" used for him. He remained a priest, but lost all the benefits of the clerical state including that one.

Removed from rape category

Never convicted of rape. He died in prison with case underappeal, but will leave in sexual abuse cat.--FloNight 07:32, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
