Lesson 32

The Call to Priesthood

The Sacrament of Holy Orders is a vocation to which God calls only baptized men.

Lesson Vocabulary

  • Ministerial priesthood
    :
    The ordained priesthood who share in the priesthood of Christ by acting in persona Christi capitas, that is, in the person of Christ, the head. These men do not preach, sanctify, and govern by the own authority, but rather, by the authority given them by Christ, the head of the Church, to act in His person. (1592)
  • Priesthood of the Faithful
    :
    A unique sharing in Christ’s mission as priest that is shared by all the baptized to worship God, spread the Good News of Salvation, and lead lives of service. It is different from the ministerial priesthood, which serves the priesthood of the faithful. (1591, 1592)
