In the Roman Catholic Church (Eastern and Western rite) there are seven sacraments. Of these only "Holy Orders" is reserved for men. Holy Orders is sometimes called ordination. Other denominations such as Anglican allow women to be ordained.
Men only receive the sacrament of Holy Orders if they are called, if they have a vocation. Although, it would appear that a few of them managed to get ordained either without a vocation or without cooperating with that vocation. Nevertheless, if a man is called by God, then he enters the seminary and "tries his vocation".
what are the holy man called
Holy men are often referred to as "saints," "sages," "monks," or "spiritual leaders," depending on the religious or spiritual context. In Christianity, they may be called saints, while in Buddhism, terms like "lama" or "Buddha" might be used. In Hinduism, holy men are often referred to as "sadhus" or "gurus." These titles reflect their spiritual authority and dedication to a life of faith and devotion.
