Can a deacon become a priest?

In most Churches that have the threefold order (deacons, priests and bishops), like the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Churches, most deacons are ordained priests after one year being a deacon. However, some elect to remain as permanent deacons as this is where they believe their calling lies. Also, in the Roman Catholic Church married men are allowed to become deacons but are not, as yet, allowed to become priests (although some Catholic priests are now married - such as married Anglican priests who have moved to the Roman Catholic Church)> therefore, for married men the diaconate is the only order open to them and they remain deacons permanently.

What is the difference between the permanent and a married diaconate?

There is no difference. All married deacons - unless they, converts to Catholicism with permission from the Vatican, are transitional deacons soon to be ordained priests - are permanent deacons, and are thus part of the permanent diaconate. The permanent diaconate is not limited to married people.
