Canon 24
On the prohibition of transferring monasteries and their property to worldly use.
Monasteries, once consecrated by the will of the bishop, must always remain monasteries and preserve the things belonging to them and henceforth not be secular dwellings for them. Those who allow this should be subject to penance according to the rules.
Greek original
Τὰ ἅπαξ καθιερωθέντα μοναστήρια, κατὰ γνώμην ἐπισκόπου, μένειν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς μοναστήρια, καὶ τὰ ἀνήκοντα αὐτοῖς πράγματα φυλάττεσθαι, καὶ μηκέτι γίνεσθαι ταῦτα κοσμικὰ καταγώγια· τοὺς δὲ συγχωροῦντας τοῦτο γίνεσθαι, ὑποκεῖσθαι τοῖς ἐκ τῶν κανόνων ἐπιτιμίοις.
