I will assume that he will lose his priesthood-ship, if there is any word like that |

it is very hard to tell, there are many posibilities, there is only one certainty, he will be asked to answer for himself in an ecclesiastical court and the case will be overseen by the congregation for faith and doctrine, if the act was non consentual (rape) he will be reported to the police and posibly derobed, if consentual the consequence range from very heavy sanctions like withdrawal of all priestly faculties to laicization, whatever it is, the mother and baby must be considered. |

One more thing what is laicization and how will the woman and baby be considered. Can they be allowed to wed in catholic? |

one person cannot have both 'holy order' & 'matrimony'. Once you get one you can't get the order so they can't Wed at least not in the Catholic Church. |

laicization, derobed, e.t.c. Are words for the samething, i.e loss of priestly state. Pregnancy doesn't equal marriage, if the priest asks to keep his priesthood the judges may be linient in accordance with lay down laws. But one thing is clear the priest will not be allowed to keep both even if he keeps the priestly state he may never celebrate mass with a congregation for the rest of his life. Holy orders imprint a permanent character on the recepient but that doesn't imply that the faculties of a priest can't be permanently suspended. |
