Priests who commit crimes are protected while those who follow their conscience are kicked out. However, the best part was:

But if I perform a baptism or marry someone they will have to admit it, because they cannot erase who I am: a priest. Even if a doctor gets fired, he is still a doctor,” Alessio said.

Power to that priest!
