or

reduce him to lay status

Pope Benedict XVI is to decide whether to defrock Fernando Lugo, a Roman Catholic Bishop, following his election as President of Paraguay, Vatican sources said today.

Mr Lugo, 56, a former Divine Word missionary and Bishop, was elected President of Paraguay with 41 per cent of the vote with a platform of land reform and help for the poor. His election ended over 60 years of rule by the Colorado Party, whose candidate Blanca Ovelar received 31 per cent of the vote.

Mr Lugo was ordained in 1977, and served as a missionary in Ecuador for five years. In 1992 he was appointed head of the Divine Word order in Paraguay, and was ordained a Bishop in 1994 by Pope John Paul II. He served for a decade as Bishop of the backward region of San Pedro, where his support for landless peasants earned him the nickname “Bishop of the Poor”.

He came to national prominence in March 2006 when he helped to organise and lead an opposition rally in the capital Asuncion. He resigned from the priesthood nine months later. But the Vatican refused to accept the resignation, arguing that serving as a priest is a “freely accepted lifetime commitment.”

Instead the Vatican suspended him from his duties “a divinis”, meaning that he could no longer say Mass or carry out other priestly functions such as administering the sacraments. This was enough to enable him to stand in the Presidential elections, but his victory now presents the Vatican with a dilemma over whether to “reduce him to lay status”.

I withdraw this answer. Sorry, Laura, I submitted it in too much of a hurry without considering the context.

disagree liz askew : I do not believe this is the meaning at all. It is about "status" not "state". http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=secular stat...|countryGB&aq=&oq=secular+stateto+defrock+reduce+to+lay+status

You´re quite right, Liz, I´m afraid I didn´t look at this properly. Thanks for pointing it out. :)
disagree philgoddard : Liz is right.

Yes, she is, and I stand humbly corrected. Thanks Phil :)
disagree Jim Tucker (X) : Check context. This is a form of punishment (cf. castigados) that happens to an individual, like excommunication. CL 5 is unwarranted.//OK, no problem, of course.

You´re right on both counts, Jim, thanks for your input. I would withdraw my answer if I knew how!
disagree Joseph Tein : This seems to be a word-for-word translation without consideration of the meaning needed. And there is no explanation or justification of the suggestion.//I really appreciate people who can take feedback graciously!
