The Importance of the Sacramental Order of the Deaconate

In this episode, we look at a detail in 1 Peter 2 that some Protestants say contradicts Catholic teaching on the sacramental order of the deaconate. The key is that Christians are called a priesthood, whether holy in verse 5 or royal in verse 9. Some Catholics think there's no conflict between these two levels of priesthood because each participates in the sole priesthood of Christ just in a different way.
