medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Sorry to join the discussion late, but the expert on the diaconate in the Roman Catholic Church since Vatican II is William Ditewig.  He has several readily accessible books.

True enough, but the OP did refer to the Catholic tradition.

Just to clarify, the prohibition on marriage only applies to the Orders in the Roman Catholic Church. In the Church of England, all three Orders, Bishop, Priest and Deacon may marry – and indeed can now be woman.

Just to clarify your question.  Deacons cannot marry, even now, however married men may become deacons.

Greetings all,
Does anyone know or can you suggest good material (not Wikipedia, which I can access on my own)
on the question of when and where in the Catholic tradition deacons were allowed to marry? I have Icelandic references to the (attempted?) introduction of deaconal celibacy. I'd also be interested in any good studies of the deaconate in the early church, and of the changes introduced in Vatican 2, whereby they are allowed to baptize and marry people (as well as being married, but apparently not re=marry if their wife dies.)
Thanks to all,
Meg
