This article presents and discusses issues related to the changes that have taken place within the procedure of dismissal from the clerical state to the secular state. Each departure of a clergyman knew the pain for the Church, but it is the Church, for which the highest good is salus animarum, that undertakes deep refections to regulate the state of life of the person deprived of this state after the departure. This article summarizes and discusses doctrinal texts of three different procedures (1964, 1971, 1980). Differences in approach the specifc evolution of the procedure is related to the fact that for the church the supreme good was and will be the good and salvation of the human soul.
