Well … it seems to me that’s that’s not quite right. Holy Orders is a Sacrament, ergo one cannot receive ALL the Sacraments beforehand. All the OTHER Sacrament, yes, (and of course that’s the way it has to be) but not all the Sacraments. One might say the difference in the two statements is semantics or perhaps in the nuance, but whatever, it is a difference nonetheless.Actually, Deacons and Priests must be married before they receive Holy Orders, so the statements are untrue. A man can receive all the sacraments before ordination, not after.
