Old_Joe Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Is a priest the only person who can act in the person of Christ?
Apotheoun Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Only a bishop or a priest acts [i]in persona Christi capitis[/i] (in the person of Christ the head). But recently the International Theological Commission (ITC) issued a document on the diaconate, and in that document the ITC stated that a deacon acts [i]in persona Christi servi[/i] (in the person of Christ the servant).
