"Sacked," to me, means you're fired. Your employment is terminated. You need a new job.

Somehow when the RCC "sacks" someone, they continue to be employed and protected by the Vatican. They're just put in a job that keeps them out of the media spotlight. Yet we are supposed to hail this as fixing their pedophilia problem.

Bernard Law, anyone?
