A deacon's job isn't supposed to be permanent. Only permanent deacon's jobs are permanent.

Permanent deacons are married men who, with special permission from their wives, become deacons. But they cannot be ordained to priests, they simply just stop at deacon.

In many churches, the deacon is an ordained minister, and ordination always has a permanent character. The particular job or office the deacon is assigned, however, is not usually permanent.

What is the difference between the permanent and a married diaconate?

There is no difference. All married deacons - unless they, converts to Catholicism with permission from the Vatican, are transitional deacons soon to be ordained priests - are permanent deacons, and are thus part of the permanent diaconate. The permanent diaconate is not limited to married people.


In the Catholic church there are two kinds of deacons- what are they?

The two kinds of deacons (they are not really different "kinds") are transitional and permanent. A transitional deacon is a man who is ordained deacon while on his way to being ordained a priest, a permanent deacon remains a deacon. The later may be married when they are ordained. Neither may marry after ordination.

Can a deacon be a father?

That depends on whether or not the deacon is a permanent deacon. Permanent deacons are individuals who are ordained to assist the priest at mass and in ministry, but is limited in ability to confer the sacraments. Permanent deacons may be married prior to becoming a deacon, but may not marry after becoming a permanent deacon (without special dispensation, that is). A married individual has to be 35 years of age before becoming a deacon, by which time many already have children. There are no restrictions on having children after ordination. Seminarians who are in the last year or so of their training are ordained as deacons, but are required to remain celibate, and can therefore not become literal fathers. If the question was instead referring to the practice of referring to ordained men as "father" then the answer for this is "no." Deacons are referred to most often and properly as "deacon."


Do Deacons just work in the church or can they have another job?

I think they would have another job, unless the church was large and could support them.


Do ordained deacons of the episcopal diocese get paid?

Whether or not Catholic deacons get paid depends entirely on what their job is. A deacon in a parish may get paid depending on what he does for that parish. A deacon in a monastery would not be paid, any transitional deacon would be paid if and while he was working in a particular job, but would not be paid just for being a deacon.
