Talking to oe24.at (June 18), Schönborn states that he is talking of the first step of the three Holy Orders (deacon, priest and bishop).
Schönborn then tries to create a confusion between ordained deacons and the femals deaconesses of the first centuries.
The deaconesses were never ordained but received a blessing in order to perform caritative work and for reasons of decency to assist at the anointing of the women before baptism.
