.Roman Catholic AnswerAfter a seminarian has completed at least five years of the seminary: at least two years of philosophy and three years of Theology, he takes a vow of celibacy and is ordained a deacon. Before that, while he is studying in the seminary, he is ordained to the minor orders of reader and then acolyte. The semester before he is ordained deacon, he is tonsured (his hair is cut) which officially makes him a cleric, and no longer a layman. After one year as a deacon he is ordained to the priesthood. The Holy Father, on the recommendation of the Nuncio picks priests from a certain area to be consecrated Bishops.
