For this perverted trafficking in spiritual gifts the current canon law imposes the canonical punishment of suspension upon a bishop, priest, deacon; can. 1461 CCEO does “not exclude a major excommunication” for sale or purchase of ordination or consecration. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are unmerchantable! This is the teaching of St.Peter and of many other Popes and Councils. They all condemned simony as an abominable practice under punishment. Let us put a question: How many bishops, priests and deacons in the UGCC nowadays should be, on the basis of can. 1461 CCEO, suspended (deposed) or excommunicated?
