What Three dimensions celebrated in the Rite of Ordination?

Answer 1

Deacon, Priest and Bishop.

Deacon

For the diaconate, there are two forms of ordination, permanent and transitional. For those men who are to be ordained as priests, the diaconate is a temporary period of service until ordination as priests.

Functions of the deacon include reading the Gospel at mass, giving homilies, performing baptisms, witnessing weddings, and funerals. In contrast to priests, deacons do not grant absolution in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, do not administer the Sacraments of Healing or Confirmation, nor do they celebrate mass in the capacity of the priest (i.e. they are not instruments through whom bread and wine are transubstantianted into the Real Presence of Christ, as priests are unique instruments of this).

In both the Latin Rite and Eastern Rites, men may be married before becoming deacons. However, should the husband be widowed, he vows not to marry again, in order that he might more fully serve the Church through his diaconate.

Priest

The priest celebrates all 7 sacraments. In the Latin Rite, priests generally take the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, which usually precludes married priests. Under certain conditions, pastors who convert from other denominations (e.g. Anglicanism) are sometimes allowed to receive Holy Orders as married men. In the Eastern Rites, men may be married and be ordained as priests. However, in Eastern Rites, this usually precludes them from becoming bishops.

Bishop

In addtion to celebrating the 7 sacraments, the primary role of bishops is to teach and guide their dioceses. The teaching often takes the form of pastoral letters which may sometimes address difficult contemporary moral issues. Among the sacraments, the bishop is usually the one who celebrates the Sacrament of Confirmation, though a priest may receive special dispensation from his bishop to celebrate the Sacrament.
