What circumstances may cause a Catholic priest to be defrocked?

In Catholic terms, a priest is laicized rather than defrocked, as defrocked is too imprecise a word. Laicization suspends the lawful use of the ecclesiastical powers held by a priest. It is used as an extreme penalty for intransigent priests in matters of teachings and jurisdiction or in order to punish gross crimes. A priest may be laicized for inciting and perpetuating schism, for stubbornly teaching heresy, for ordaining women, profaning the sacraments, profaning the priesthood, for gross sexual misconduct, for grave crimes such as murder, etc. It is usually the local ordinary (bishop) or the pope that weighs the circumstances, the crimes and the behavior and expressed intentions of the violator whether to proceed with such a grave penalty.


Can suspended greek orthodox priests still consider themselves as priests If a greek orthodox priest is not in good standing with his church can he solemnize marriage?

A suspended Orthodox priest is still a priest, however, he is not allowed to perform any of the functions of a priest while he is under suspension. So he cannot solemnize a marriage if he has been suspended. If he has been defrocked, this is much more serious, and means that he is no longer a priest. If you are in doubt about whether he is suspended or defrocked, you should contact his bishop or the Archdiocese office to confirm his status.

How were lords punished if they disobeyed the church in middle ages?

In the Middle Ages, priests were not tried for crimes in secular courts unless they had committed such a crime as treason. For most felonies or misdemeanors, they were tried in ecclesiastical courts, which had rather different standards than secular courts. Punishments for priests found guilty of crimes usually included the guilty being defrocked, but could also include some sort of penance, such as service on the crusades or in a monastery. There was some question as to whether a priest who was defrocked could subsequently be tried for the same crime in secular court. If he was, then he would get the same punishment as anyone else.
