Minor orders
Minor orders are ranks of church ministry lower than major orders. The Roman Catholic Church in its Latin Rite traditionally distinguished between the major orders of bishop, priest, deacon and subdeacon, and 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. In view of the 1972 renaming, what they are inducted into are now canonically called ministries, with those of lector and acolyte being kept throughout the Latin Church in general. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, the three minor orders in use are those of subdeacon, cantor and lector.
