laicization
This term describes a formal legal and spiritual transition within ecclesiastical law, specifically the removal of the clerical state. It carries a heavy weight of finality and institutional procedure, often associated with the Catholic Church's process of dispensing a priest from the obligations of his office.
Because it refers to a specific administrative process, the word is used almost exclusively in theological, canonical, or historical discourses. It is distinct from secularization, which refers to a broad societal shift away from religious influence, whereas laicization is an individual's change in status from clergy to layperson.
