As predicted in a 2008 letter to Homiletic and Pastoral Review (link: last letter in post), the Code of Canon Law is now to be consistent with both the Catechism of the Catholic Church and Lumen Gentium in the distinction between Bishops and Priests (who act in persona Christi capitis) and Deacons who serve as ministers of liturgy, Word and charity.
See: From the Diakonia of Christ to the Diakonia of the Apostles (2003, 2004).
See also In Persona Christi and the Deacon (2007).
