Some enter the monastic life feignedly - not in order to serve God in purity, but in order to gain the glory of piety from the revered monastic robe, and thereby gain the opportunity to taste pleasures in abundance, and, committing only the shedding of hair, such remain in their homes, without fulfilling any monastic observance or institution. Therefore, the Holy Council determined: absolutely no one should be honored with the monastic image unless there is someone who will accept the person being tonsured into obedience and promises that he will guide him and take care of his spiritual salvation. It is obvious that the recipient must be a God-loving man, the abbot of a monastery and capable of saving the soul that is being brought to Christ at that time. If anyone is found to have taken tonsure without the abbot, who was supposed to accept the person being tonsured into obedience, then he should be cast out as disobedient to the rules and a destroyer of monastic order, and the person tonsured unreasonably and disorderly should be transferred for obedience to a monastery, to which the local bishop determines. For reckless and careless tonsures dishonored the monastic image and became the reason why the name of Christ was blasphemed.
