Yes, if you stay within the same diocese. A deacon is at the service of a Bishop and is ordained into Holy Orders by the Bishop of the diocese of which the ordained deacon is a member. The Bishop may assign a deacon to any church or other position where he believes the deacon is most needed. Oft times the deacon is allowed to serve in his local parish, but he still remains at the service to the Bishop and not necessarily to his personal local parish or parish priest. If a deacon wishes to "relocate" or moves out of the diocese in which he was ordained he must make a formal request to his Bishop and to the Bishop of the diocese into which he will be transferring. Both must approve this move. Of course, in most cases, this permission is extended as there is always room for the service of a deacon or any other person who wishes to serve his new local parish. However, a deacon is an ordained minister of the Church therefore, much like a priest, he has a mark upon his soul that can never be removed, though again like a priest, he may be laitized. However, once having been ordained into the Holy Church of God, that mark on the soul can never be cancelled. Once a priest always a priest--once a deacon always a deacon. However, the permission to "practice" ones Holy Orders may be taken away or voluntarily given up under certain circumstances.

Are you always a deacon once you are ordained as a deacon?
Yes, you are always a deacon. A deacon is one who accepted the call as a servant and while his term may have expired and he has moved to another church, he is still a servant and can preform as one. He is not serving in the name of the church but in the name of Jesus.

Do protestants have to take classes at a Catholic Church to marry a Catholic in a protestant church?
Yes, not only must they take a class, but the Catholic must receive special permission (which is not always given) from the Bishop to have a wedding outside of a Catholic Church. Even if it is outside a Catholic Church, the wedding must still be witnessed by a Catholic priest (deacon, or bishop) or it is not valid.

Can a deacon marry a couple that are divorced and the groom was married by the Catholic Church?
.Roman Catholic AnswerA deacon may witness any marriage between two people who are free to marry. In the instance you give above "couple that are divorced and the groom was married by the Catholic Church" it is not clear what the case is. It would appear that you are saying the groom was previously married to someone else in the Catholic Church. If this is the case, it would appear that he was validly married already and thus would not be free to contract another marriage while his wife still lives. If, for some reason, the "Catholic marriage" was invalid, then the groom would be free to marry. You need to speak to a priest to make sure both parties are free to marry. If both the groom and the bride were previously married, then they would both have to seek an annulment (a declaration that no valid marriage occurred) even if the bride's marriage was not in the Catholic Church.

What does husband of one wife mean?
In Paul's time of missionary journey's, he was to start churches in different places. These churches needed leadership. In first Timothy 3, Paul outlines the qualifications of a pastor and a deacon to oversee the church. These had to be men of high integrity and solid in the christian faith. The question was, "What dose the phrase husband of one wife mean? ". I have taught sunday school in a baptist church for 35 years and this is what I'm sure it means. The disciples were to reach out to the Jews first, and then the Gentiles. (non Jews) When the gentiles started being saved and baptized into the church, many had come from Idle Worship where they could have multiple wives. "Husband of one wife" means a pastor or deacon could have only one living wife. Many say that this means that a man could never have been divorced but it would be contrary to a lot of other scripture if it met that. I believe a man who's wife has committed adultery and divorced her husband, that husband can still be a deacon. Other factors would come into play also. If a man had left his first wife for another woman, I don't think that man should be a deacon. If all this happened before he was saved, he may still qualify. L.H.
