If a priest has sinned and if children are born, is he responsible to maintain them ? Can he do it and continue priesthood ?

Yep, he’s responsible.If a priest has sinned and if children are born, is he responsible to maintain them ? Can he do it and continue priesthood ?
Doubtful that he could continue in the priesthood, due to the scandal it would likely cause.
Anyone have any canon law references for priests and scandal?

I don’t have quotes. But I do remember hearing the questions before and that if this happens that man is relieved of his priesthood and so that he can now take care of the child or children he has brought into the world. I will look through Canon Law to see if I can find something … that’s just what I remember hearing.Yep, he’s responsible.

Here are relevant Canons that refers to members of the clergy who may have sired an offspring.
Can. 1395 §1. A cleric who lives in concubinage, other than the case mentioned in ⇒ can. 1394, and a cleric who persists with scandal in another external sin against the sixth commandment of the Decalogue is to be punished by a suspension. If he persists in the delict after a warning, other penalties can gradually be added, including dismissal from the clerical state.
§2. A cleric who in another way has committed an offense against the sixth commandment of the Decalogue, if the delict was committed by force or threats or publicly or with a minor below the age of sixteen years, is to be punished with just penalties, not excluding dismissal from the clerical state if the case so warrants.

Real life case study: A Priest at my Elementary School Church had a relationship with a woman that resulted in a child. He was Excommunicated, and court ordered to pay child support… at least till he married the mother (story for another time).If a priest has sinned and if children are born, is he responsible to maintain them ? Can he do it and continue priesthood ?

Some parishes have choirs, some have none, some have different choirs. What on earth does that have to do with the question posted?do catholic churches have adult and children’s choirs?
