Priests have no rights

​Becoming, and then, existing as a priest is a privilege not a right.  The privilege carries with it great responsibilities.  Any violation of the natural or divine law requires immediate termination of the privilege for the sake of the sanctity of the Church.  Scandal is not allowed in the Church.  The accused has the burden of proving his innocence.  He has no right of innocence until proven guilty, no right to trial, no right against self-incrimination and no property right.  Unfortunately, the Church has taken upon itself 200 year old political designs and ideas of men seeking freedom from tyrannical and oppressive kingdoms.  The Church is not a democracy or a republic.  The church is an institution created by God for the flourishment of human endeavor. Divine law must rule within the Church, not man-made rights based on the natural law. Violation of divine law requires natural law consequences, immediate termination until one proves his own innocence.
