Day 90 Holy Orders Part II - The Major and Minor Orders
from Catechism of The Council of Trent (in Less than a Year) · host Mark Langley
In this episode we continue to read the Catechism concerning the Sacrament of Holy Orders. In particular we study the distinctions of Major and Minor Orders and why the Church used to designate seven different "orders" encompassed within this sacrament. It is within the scope of the church's power to order itself and make a division of labor with respect to the sacrament of the Eucharist- and we see that all of the orders are at the service of the priest. Additionally, we read two excerpts from the Summa Theologica concerning the division and multiplicity of orders. (ST. IIIa. Supplement Q. 37 a. 1 and a. 2)
