∙ 14y agoPastor in a baptist church means shepherd and is a professional minister, preacher, and spiritual leader. A deacon in a baptist church is a layman that is a member of the church and can become a trustee of the church. There are other denominations, Methodists, that reserve deacon status to ordained ministers.

∙ 13y agoA Catholic Priest: Is a Man who was discerned through the Holy Spirit to become a Catholic Priest. To become a Devoted Priest (Like Jesus did to the Twelve Apostles)
this Man would have to go to School for ten years. All Priests are given different gifts from God, Some could have the Gift of Tongues (The Gift to speak in many different languages,) The Gift to Sing, the Gift to Heal, and many more.
Once a anointed Priest, A Priest is more important than an Angel. A Priest is able to turn Bread and Wine at Mass in the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ just like Jesus did at the Last Supper.
A Priest is more than a person able to do miraculous things, and is more than just a Man who is more important than an Angel. A Priests work is dedicated to doing what God asks and to do in God's will.
Another one of a Priests responsibilities , is to Pray, Pray for anyone who may be hurt Mentally and Physically or Sick. (That is also our job, prayer is the most important thing God gave us.)
A Deacon: Is a Priest assistant that takes on some of the responsibilities of a Priest.
A Deacon is able to Read the Gospel through the blessing of the Priest.
A Deacon is also allowed to be Married and have kids like a normal father would.

∙ 14y agoNo they are not. There are three levels in sacrament of Holy Orders, Deacon, Priest, and Bishop.
Bishops are the Apostles of today. Each one leads a diocese, a large church centered around a city. Parishes are part of this larger church. Special types of bishop are archbishop, cardinal, and pope (who leads the whole Church). Bishops can celebrate all of the sacraments.
Priests are co-workers of the bishops and can lead a parish. A special title for a priest is monsignor. Priests can celebrate all of the sacraments except Holy Orders.
Deacons assist the bishop and priests in the celebration of the Eucharist, in the distribution of Holy Communion, in assisting at and blessing marriages, in the proclamation of the Gospel and preaching, in presiding over baptisms and funerals, and in dedicating themselves to the various ministries of charity.
A Deacon can celebrate Baptisms, Funerals and Marriages but cannot celebrate the Mass, as they are unable to consecrate the Eucharist.
Deacons are not always required to submit to the vows of Chastity or Poverty. In the Roman Catholic Church some deacons are called Lay Deacons and they might be married or widowed men.

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 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.
