The sacrament of holy orders progresses in three steps, with each step ordaining a man to one of the three ancient ranks of the priesthood: the diaconate, the priesthood, and the episcopacy. What are the characteristics of these roles? How is the rank of bishop distinct from the others?
In this Aquinas 101 episode, Fr. Isaac Morales, O.P., talks about the episcopacy and the bishop’s role within the Church.
