[Mannaggia l'America]

Deacons must be married? So single men who don’t want to be priests can’t become deacons or what? Or they have to have been married or widowers or what?

My bad... Deacons must be married before they become deacons. If they are single when they become a deacon, they are to remain unmarried and celibate.

[Ransomed]

Right that is my understanding, but I’m not sure I ever met a deacon that wasn’t married at one time. Are there men who become deacons who have never been married?
