Since the Second Vatican Council, the permanent diaconate has grown from a handful of ordained ministers to more than 50,000 deacons serving the Church throughout the world. Is this simply a remarkable pastoral development—or could it be a sign that the Holy Spirit is inviting the Church to rediscover something essential about Christ the Servant? In this episode, Deacon Dominic looks beyond the numbers to uncover the profound theological meaning behind the diaconate's extraordinary growth. Drawing on Scripture, Vatican II, and the lived witness of deacons around the world, he explores why this restoration matters for every Catholic and what it reveals about the Church's mission in the twenty-first century. This is not just the story of the diaconate—it is the story of how Christ continues to serve his people through his Church.
