Canon LXXX. (Greek
lxxxiii.)
That it is not permitted to make superiors of
monasteries nor to ordain as clerics those who are received from a
monastery not one’s own.
Item
, it seemed good that if any
bishop wished to advance to the clericature a monk received from a
monastery not under his jurisdiction, or shall have appointed him
superior of a monastery of his own, the bishop who shall have thus
acted shall be separated from the communion of others and shall rest
content with the communion of his own people alone, but the monk shall
continue neither as cleric nor superior.
