If you mean a criminal background check, we are, and if we have any accusations or convictions we are not ordained or if already ordained we are removed from ministry. It is very rare that a permament Deacon would go on to become a Priest we receive a different call than a Priest. It is difficult to explain but I never wanted to be a Priest and most men who I know feel the same way. If a permanent Deacon were to become a Priest, he would just need to complete those studies which he was lacking. There is no difference in the rite of ordination between a permanent Deacon and a transitional Deacon, one just becomes a Priest.
