Roman Catholic AnswerHoly Orders is specifically aimed at conforming a man to be another Christ. He is ordained ONLY to serve. All of the graces that come in the sacrament of ordination are only there to help a man serve his fellow man. Going all the way up to the Holy Father, whose highest title is "Servant of the Servants of God".
