blovedwolfofgod Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 If a permanent deacon is ordained while married and then his wife dies, can he then be ordained a priest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappie Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 There would have to be discernment between the deacon and his Bishop. The vocation to the permanant diaconate and the ministerial priesthood are two different things, however being ordained to the permanent diaconate does not exclude later ordination to the priesthood provided the conditions for ordination to the priesthood are met Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
