It depends on their ordinary and even immigration status.

Clergy are incardinated into a diocese or religious order. When serving in another diocese they have to have permission from both their own ordinary as well as the ordinary where they are serving. To stay they have to petition their current bishop to be excardinated and also petition to be incardinated into the new diocese. If one or the other does not agree then they remain under the jurisdiction of their original ordinary. Their ordinary can also call them back at anytime.

Clergy are not free agents so they can’t earn the “right” to stay, but can only ask permission.
 
If you haven’t done this lately, go back to the OP and notice the article linked has lengthened considerably as witnesses have written in. This incident is a lesson in why we must avoid rash judgement, most especially when our information is only over the internet and the news media.
 
Well, a couple folks including me called bulloney on it right after it was posted.
Homily simply wasn’t that controversial. Even for California.
 
This was an interesting read.
It must be hard to be a catholic priest .
You have to find a click that you fit into . that are not perverted and currupt .
And keep your mouth shut.
And be politically correct

I had slowly become more disillusioned with that blog… recent posts where reader comments outright question the validity of the current papacy show just how out there that community can be.

Dreher isn’t even a practicing Catholic, he switched over to the Orthodox Church. So I don’t give much weight to his comments.
 
Wrong blog. I was referring to Fr Z’s blog. He is a Catholic priest in good standing, but there is a very pronounced traditionalist bent there.
 
The problem is the useage of the word “fired” as it is used normally. Then you’ll hear things like “why didn’t all of the abusers get fired?” People see the word as a total separation with an employer.

I know you know better, but the general public doesn’t. Relieved of his public ministry might be a better way of saying it.
