<The purpose of laicization is to state publicly that a person is no longer to be considered a priest and no longer in an official relationship with the Catholic Church.>
I know I sound cynical, but I don't think what you're saying is different from what I'm saying: the bishop who (personally or through his predecessors) recruited, trained, formed, ordained, assigned and reassigned the man now washes his hands of him and declares that he has no responsibility for or to him; let the community beware. "We don't care", the laicization declares, "where he goes, how he lives or whether he lives; we don't care whom he hurts or who hurts him. He's not our problem." It's cynical, hypocritical, dishonest. The bishop/church has an obligation not only, or even so much, to the priest but also to the community to do what is available to do to assist accused/removed priests to live healthy, safe lives. That may be especially true of accused priests who were not prosecuted, which is most of them.
