Anyone who has eyes to see or ears to hear knows that the ordination of a priest and of a deacon are two completely different things. I would not even dignify such an argument.
Secondly, there are those like myself who would seriously question the sanity of the creation by Paul VI of the Permanent Diaconate. It serves very little real, practical purpose.........and deacons are not substitutes for priests. Frankly, it makes very little sense........and is not, and would not be used in any TLM setting.
I have no way of knowing for a fact whether or not Sinkspur is actually a deacon. Any more then one could know - or not know - whether I am a priest or a bishop. We are whom we say we are on an anonymous forum.
You think that "transitional" deacons are ordained as deacons using the rite of ordination for a priest?

Do you question the sanity and practicality of an apostolic practice (permanent deacons). See for yourself the reason of the twelve: "look ye out among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business" (Acts 6:3). That doesn't sound like a so-called "transitional" diaconate to me.

We can all see, from your manifest lack of theological learning, that you are not a priest or a bishop.
