	CHRIST OR CHAOS May 3-5 (may3coc.htm)
		It is beyond the purview of this analysis to discuss in detail the erroneous nature of Pope Paul's decision, which has by and large resulted in the creation of a constituency group dedicated to the protection of its own interests and to de-emphasizing the role of the priest in the life of a parish.
		His service as a transitional deacon prepares him more fully for his ordination as a priest, and it equips him to serve as a deacon in a Solemn High Mass (just as his service as a subdeacon prepares him for that role even after his ordination to the priesthood).
		The permanent diaconate was superceded by the transitional diaconate in order to emphasize, correctly, the need of the Church for priests, not those who desire some of the privileges and powers of holy orders while remaining free to pursue their interests in the secular world.

	Diocese of London - Distinctive and Transitional Diaconate
		The diaconate has often been regarded as a transitional order, pertaining typically to the first year of ordained ministry, and as an apprenticeship for the priesthood.
		In general, where it is permissible for the president to delegate specifically diaconal functions to another minister (including Communion by Extension), these should be entrusted to the deacon where one is available.
		A priest is also a deacon, and it will be appropriate for a deacon to give special attention to the specifically diaconal ministries to which the priest, by virtue of his or her priestly responsibilities, has a need to share.

	06/15/2001: Baker Diocese rejoices over two ordained to ministry of service
		The ordination is to the transitional diaconate, with the word “transitional” referring to the fact that these young men intend to continue in their studies and intend to be ordained to the priesthood after a period of exercising the diaconal order.
		The diaconate, in their case, is not a permanent station but one of several steps leading to priestly ordination.
		For those ordained to the transitional diaconate, it is impossible to stop and completely rejoice, for they know that they are still on a journey, that they have not yet arrived at the goal to which they have committed themselves.

	From the Desk of Bishop Henry J. Mansell
		The Diaconate was an extremely important factor in the early centuries of the Church.
		Tremendous leaders emerged in the Diaconate: Saint Lawrence, the 3rd century administrator and martyr in the Church of Rome; Saint Ephrem, the fourth century theologian, poet, and doctor of the Church.
		Pope John Paul II affirms this conviction in The Permanent Deacon's Ordination: "This is at the very heart of the Diaconate to which you have been called: to be a servant of the mysteries of Christ and, at one and the same time, to be a servant of your brothers and sisters.

	Lifting Up Servants
		Although the diaconate was often a lifelong ministry, the progression from deacon to presbyter to bishop, though becoming increasingly more common, was still not normative.
		The current diaconate is the restoration of the ancient, full, and equal order of ministry, based on the call to imitate Christ in service to the poor and needy.
		Education continues to be needed to ease the tensions and concerns of presbyters and bishops, and to inform the laity of the varied and distinct ministries of deacons.

	The Transitional Diaconte

		It does happen (although not often) that a transitional deacon is not automatically ordained to the priesthood, but instead spends additional time as a deacon to be better prepared for the priesthood.
