Word of the Day: Suspension
SUSPENSION. The canonical censure by which a cleric is excluded from office or from a benefice or both. A suspension from office may forbid him to exercise any or all the powers of order received through ordination, and any act of jurisdiction, whether ordinary or delegated. Suspension from benefice may, with certain exceptions, deprive a cleric of the fruit of the benefice.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
