The two kinds of deacons (they are not really different "kinds") are transitional and permanent. A transitional deacon is a man who is ordained deacon while on his way to being ordained a priest, a permanent deacon remains a deacon. The later may be married when they are ordained. Neither may marry after ordination.

What does a priest do to help the church?
According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, there are two sides to the priesthood: offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and forgiving sins. Among the duties of a Catholic priest are the celebration of the Eucharist as a presider in persona Christi or as a concelebrant if required. Priests are also responsible for daily recitation of the principal and minor offices of the Liturgy of the Hours. Catholic priests are the only ministers of the Sacrament of Penance and Anointing of the Sick. They are the only ones who can celebrate the Eucharist in the Catholic Church (not to be confused with distribution by deacons or by extraordinary ministers). They and deacons are ordinary ministers of Baptism and witnesses to Holy Matrimony.
What was a protestant priests life like before the Reformation?
Before the Reformation, there were two Christian religions-the Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox. Both had priests as well as bishops and deacons. There was no such thing as Protestant priests before the Reformation. After the Lutheran Church was founded, the word priest was dropped and today in the Lutheran church, they ordain deacons, pastors or elders and in some Lutheran sects, bishops. The Anglican Church after the Reformation, was and is considered a "bridge" between the Roman Catholics and the Calvinists and Lutherans. They ordain deacons, priests and bishops like in the Catholic and Orthodox faiths. The primary difference at the time the Church of England was founded in the 16th century, was the Mass would be spoken in English not Latin.

What do you get when you become a deacon?
Deacon is the first of the Major Orders (Deacon, Priest, Bishop) in the Roman Catholic Church. There are two types of Deacons: 1) Transitional, who are only ordained, usually for a year, before they are ordained to the Priesthood, and 2) Permanent Deacons. Deacons perform weddings, baptisms, are Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, and may read the Gospel and preach a homily at Mass. They were a stole across their chest on a diagonal and a Dalmatic (a tunic like vestment similar to the priest's Chasuble.)
