The publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1997) and of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, along with subsequent revisions to both and the papal magisterium of Popes John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis, have further clarified the Church’s teaching on the nature of the diaconate within the one sacrament of holy orders. Thanks to these developments, the Church is now in a better position to judge whether all the duties assigned to deacons as an exercise of the sanctifying office are appropriate to this rank of the ordained. |
