3 vows religious take
poverty, chastity, obedience
There are three vows that all religious take: Poverty (Common ownership), Chastity/Celibacy (refrain from marriage and sexual relationships), and Obedience (to the will of the religious leader).
vows for consecrated life (religious orders)
Transitional deacons (going onto priesthood) and permanent deacons who will always function as deacons. Currently in the Western Catholic Church permanent deacons may be married men. Transitional deacons must be celibate.
d
one who is responsible for the service ministry within a parish, who can preach, baptize, bless marriages, and preside at funerals.
Deacon (‘minister’ or ‘server’, diakonos):
one who is ordained to minister to the church and preside at the celebration of all of the sacraments except for Holy Orders (reserved to a bishop). Although not a term in the early centuries of the church it became to more common term once Eucharist/Mass was understood as offering a sacrifice.
priest
(Later associated with ‘priest’, 4th century): co-workers with a bishop and minister to the people on a parish level. They have the power to preside at Eucharist, celebrate the Sacrament s of Baptism, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, and Marriage. Think of the Presbyterian Church.
Presbyter (‘elder’, presbyteros):
the person responsible for overseeing a diocese and shares in the responsibility for the whole church through the college of bishops. Think of the Episcopal Church.
Bishop (‘overseer’, episcopos):
the sacramental rite by which a bishop through the laying on of hands and anointing with chrism confers on a man (or woman in some Christian denominations) the order of deacon, priest, or bishop.
ordination
to act as the official witness for the church. For a serious reason this may be dispensed by the bishop. If a marriage of a Catholic was not witnessed by a priest (unless dispensed by the bishop) the marriage lacks validity or nullity due to “lack of form.”
role of the clergy - priest, deacon, bishop
bride and groom
ministers of the sacrament of marriage
carry out the responsibilities of marriage
capacity
Saying “I do.” The two conditions for valid consent are the quality of the consent and the capacity to carry out the consent. If either of these two or both are found to be wanting then a declaration of nullity may be made.
consent
a declaration of nullity. This declares that the sacrament of marriage never occurred due to the lack of conditions particularly those of consent or capacity. A church annulment does not affect the legal marriage which must be ended in divorce.
annulment
The legal separation of a legal or putative marriage. In the Roman Catholic Church divorce does not keep someone from participating in the sacraments, mainly Eucharist, Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick.
divorce
Cannot be dissolved or undone. The reason for indissolubility is that marriage is a symbol/sacrament of the relationship between Christ and the Church which is indissoluble. The sacrament of marriage which satisfies the conditions for validity is permanent; therefore a second marriage cannot occur.
Indissolubility:
free consent and consummation (sexual intercourse) after the giving of consent.
conditions for validity of marriage
sacrament if two baptized persons enter into it. Therefore, between two baptized non-Catholics is considered sacramental. A =between an baptized and an unbaptized or two unbaptized is not sacramental.
sacrament of marriage
the sacrament that celebrated the lifelong covenant or partnership (communion) between a man and a woman both for their mutual well-being and also for the procreation and education of their children.
