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.

The third sacrament of Holy Orders is the Sacrament of the Episcopate, which ordains bishops. Bishops are responsible for the spiritual leadership and governance of a diocese and have the authority to ordain priests and deacons. They are seen as successors to the apostles, entrusted with teaching, sanctifying, and governing the Church.
Who has most authority priest or deacon?
In the hierarchy of the Catholic Church, a priest has more authority than a deacon. Priests are ordained to celebrate the Eucharist, hear confessions, and perform other sacraments, while deacons assist priests and perform specific duties, such as baptisms and preaching. Deacons do not have the same sacramental authority as priests. Therefore, within the clerical structure, priests hold a higher position of authority.
