CHAPTER XI

THE FRIARS ARE NOT TO ENTER THE MONASTERIES OF NUNS

 

 

I firmly command all the friars not to have any relationships or conversations with women which could arouse suspicion.

No one should enter the monasteries of nuns

except those to whom special permission has been granted by the Apostolic See; nor should they be godfathers of men or womenlest scandal arise on this account

among the friars or concerning them.
