Though priests were sometimes viewed through the lens of function, the medieval priesthood was also defined ontologically–those marked by God who performed the sacraments and confected the Eucharist.  While their role grew in importance, medieval priests continued to fulfil the role of preacher, confessor and provider of pastoral care. As the concept of ordination changed theologically the practices and status of bishops, priests and deacons continued to be refined, with many of these medieval discussions continuing to the present day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Abbreviations  1\tIntroduction Greg Peters  2\tApostolic Successors: Priests and Priesthood, Bishops and Episcopacy in Medieval Western Europe  Robert Swanson  \t\t  3\tOrdinatio and the Priesthood in the Early Middle Ages and its Visual Depiction    Roger E.
