IN BRIEF
1593 Since the beginning, the
ordained ministry has been conferred and exercised in three degrees: that of
bishops, that of presbyters, and that of deacons. the ministries conferred by
ordination are irreplaceable for the organic structure of the Church: without
the bishop, presbyters, and deacons, one cannot speak of the Church (cf St.
Ignatius of Antioch, Ad Trall. 3,1).
