The 43-year-old Krzysztof Charamsa says that while the Roman Catholic clergy is "full of homosexuals",
it is also "frequently violently homophobic",
and he calls on "all gay cardinals, gay bishops and gay priests [to] have the courage to abandon this insensitive,
unfair and brutal Church". :-[

The Vatican immediately stripped him of his post after he held a news conference in a restaurant in Rome
to announce that he was both gay and in a relationship.
Roman Catholic priests are meant to be celibate.

At the time, the Holy See said the priest's decision to come out on the eve of the Vatican's synod on the family
had been "irresponsible, since it aims to subject the synod assembly to undue media pressure".
The Synod on the Family ended on Sunday, but made no change to its pastoral attitude to gay Catholics

Since he took a vow of celibacy, then he has to step down. Although it is common knowledge that other priests do it, they don't announce it to the world.
He will of course (or should) be allowed to practise his faith.

dunno about that : he should be excommunicated >
Excommunication is an institutional act of religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership
in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it, in particular reception of the sacraments.

He should not be deprived from practising his faith on a personal level.
