1PREFACEI. The Diaconate in the Second Vatican Council andthe Post-Conciliar Period: A Historical Overview 11. One of the great legacies of the Second Vatican Council was itsrenewal and encouragement of the order of deacons throughout theentire Catholic Church. The Council’s decisions on the diaconateflowed out of the bishops’ discussions on the sacramental nature ofthe Church. The Fathers of the Council present in concise, descriptive,and complementary images a comprehensive magisterial teaching:The Church is “mystery,” “sacrament,” “communion,” and “mission.”2 The Church is “like a sacrament or as a sign and instrumentboth of a very closely knit union with God and of the unity of thewhole human race. . . .” 3 “In her whole being and in all her members,the Church is sent to announce, bear witness, make present, andspread the mystery of the communion of the Holy Trinity.” 4 This“missionary mandate” 5 is the Church’s sacred right and obligation. 6Through the proclamation of God’s word, in sacramental celebrations,and in response to the needs of others, especially in her ministryof charity and justice, “the Church is Christ’s instrument . . .‘the universal sacrament of salvation,’ by which Christ is ‘at oncemanifesting and actualizing the mystery of God’s love for men.’” 72. Central to the Second Vatican Council’s teaching on theChurch is the service or ministry bestowed by Christ upon the apostlesand their successors. The office of bishop “is a true service,which in sacred literature is significantly called a ‘diakonia’ or ministry.”8 The Council Fathers teach that the bishops, with priests anddeacons as helpers, have by divine institution taken the place of theapostles as pastors of the Church. 9 Priests and deacons are seen ascomplementary but subordinate participants in the one apostolicministry bestowed by Christ upon the apostles, with Peter as theirhead, and continued through their successors, the bishops, in unionwith the Roman Pontiff. 10 When discussing Holy Orders as one ofthe sacraments “at the service of communion” (along withMatrimony), the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that thesetwo sacraments “are directed towards the salvation of others; if theyThe diaconate:legacy of the SecondVatican CouncilAn apostolicministry
