WHAT DOES MINOR ORDERS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Minor orders

Minor orders are ranks of church ministry lower than major orders. Within the Catholic Church, the Latin Church traditionally distinguished between the major holy orders of priest, deacon and subdeacon, and the four minor orders, that of acolyte, exorcist, lector and porter. In 1972, the minor orders were renamed "ministries", with those of lector and acolyte being kept throughout the Latin Church. The rites by which all four minor orders were conferred are still employed for members of some Roman Catholic religious institutes and societies of apostolic life authorized to observe the 1962 form of the Roman Rite. Some traditional Catholics who are in disagreement with the Holy See also continue to use "minor orders", as do some Old Catholic groups, including Old Roman Catholics and the Liberal Catholic Church In the Eastern Orthodox Church, the three minor orders in use are those of subdeacon, cantor and reader.
