What else can I help you with?
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.
In the Catholic church there are two kinds of deacons- what are they?
The two kinds of deacons (they are not really different "kinds") are transitional and permanent. A transitional deacon is a man who is ordained deacon while on his way to being ordained a priest, a permanent deacon remains a deacon. The later may be married when they are ordained. Neither may marry after ordination.
Do catholic deacons receive holy orders?
Yes, deacons are ordained, you are a deacon once you are ordained. You are gradually elevated (if you are a transitional deacon).
How many deacons in the Catholic Bible?

What type of deacon can be married?
Any Deacon in the Catholic Church can be married when he becomes a Deacon. But if he is not married when he becomes a Deacon he cannot get married. Also if a married Deacon's wife should die he cannot get remarried so a transitional deacon may be married if not married when he becomes a deacon he would be a permanent deacon.
