摘要

本文根據2016年8月2日按照教宗的意願所成立的「女性執事研究委員會」的研究方向，對授予女性執事聖職的可能性進行教會法層面的探析。本文一方面考察《聖經》所描繪的女性執事、十二世紀前的禮節書、嘉爾篤修女會中禮儀修女的職務和授領帶禮，並對貞潔祝聖禮和現代執事職務進行比較；另一方面，依據梵蒂岡第二屆大公會議的教會論，將執事職和司祭職在職務上作出明確區分，使讀者瞭解執事職與主教和司鐸聖職在服務上的差異，從而對女性領受執事職的可能性提出自己的建議。

This article investigates the possibility of ordaining women as deacons from the perspective of Canon Law, while following the direction of the "Study Commission on the Women's Diaconate" established by Pope Francis on August 2nd, 2016. On the one hand, this article explores biblical accounts of women deacons, ritual books before the 12th century, the ministry of the Carthusian nuns who are in charge of the liturgy, the rite of conferring the stole from the bishop on the Carthusian nuns and compares the rite of consecration of Virgins with that of the contemporary deaconate ordination. On the other hand, this article seeks to illustrate the different services of deacons, bishops, and priests by distinguishing the deaconate with the priesthood in accordance with the teachings of the Second Vatican Council. This article ends with the author's recommendations for the possibility of women deacons.
