How does the priestly ordination go in order from pope to deacon?
Sub deaconDeaconPriestBishopArchbishopCardinalPopeRoman Catholic AnswerThere are only three ordinations available. The fullness of the Christ's priesthood is given only in the ordination to Bishop. Priest and Deacon are "helpers" to the Bishop, and thus have a "limited" (so to speak) ordination. Priests can not ordain, and Deacons can not celebrate the Eucharist, hear Confessions, or administer Unction (or Ordain). Archbishop, Cardinal, and Pope are not ordinations, they are all Bishops, with the fullness of Christ's priesthood like any other Bishops. They are ranks of honor or administration; the Holy Father being a completely different order as the successor of Peter - but as far as ordination is concerned, they are all Bishops.

The governments are cracking down on this. To be ordained it must be through a legitimate church that has met certain guidelines to operate as such.

You may want to check in Canada if a notary can perform the ceremony.
