Abstract

The historical analysis what succeeds the short reflection on the translation of the term sacramentum ordinis in Czech, distinguishes three ancient phases of development of this sacrament (with three respective models of leading the ecclesiastic community) and ponders on medieval mentality of cursus honorum and her possible persisting consequences (including the Tridentine legal delimitation of this sacrament).
