III. The Three Degrees of the Sacrament of Holy Orders
1569
“At a lower level of the hierarchy are to be found deacons, who receive
the imposition of hands ‘not unto the priesthood, but unto the
ministry.”‘53 At an ordination to the diaconate only the bishop
lays hands on the candidate, thus signifying the deacon’s special attachment to
the bishop in the tasks of his “diakonia.”54
