Letter 11049: A young man has received the monastic habit at Misenum [a town near Naples] after being brought there from Sicily.
Gregory to Anthemius, subdeacon.
A young man has received the monastic habit at Misenum [a town near Naples] after being brought there from Sicily. The matter of his status and his obligations going forward needs to be sorted out clearly.
A person who has genuinely received the monastic habit is subject to monastic law and discipline. This is not altered by the fact that he received it in a different location from his place of origin. Determine what monastery he is canonically attached to and ensure that his relationship with that community is properly established.
