Dealing with sanctioned monks and rejected applicants

The Holy Synod approved the following recommendations made by the Monasteries Affairs Committee:

1. Every monastery creates a file for each monastic applicant, just as it does for every monk, and it contains all documents and data related to him for reference when necessary. The Committee encourages placing data on the computer in the monastery.
2. When a Monk is stripped of priesthood, his monastery notifies all the dioceses and monasteries to prevent this from practicing religious rites.
3. When stripping one of the monks from monasticism, the monastery notifies all other monasteries that he is deposed and sends his image before and after monasticism, and with it his name before and after monasticism, the date of monasticism and the date he was deposed, so that he does not attempt to infiltrate into another monastery as a new monastic applicant.
4. When one of the monastic applicants is rejected from one of the monasteries, the monastery notifies the other monasteries of the cause of his refusal, in order that the other monasteries need have to discover the things that made the first monastery reject his monasticism, which the new monastery may not otherwise have discovered until after his monasticism.
5. Given that books attributed to an unknown monk from the Coptic Church were issued by Protestant institutions such as the Al-Manar Library in St. Fatima, and the monastery where he was a monk was not mentioned, and it contains serious historical and ideological errors, the Committee recommends that books in the name of an unknown monk be published only with the permission of the abbot, and the publication will be in the name of the Monastery. Anyone who violates this shall be investigated and a decision will be taken against them by the Monastic Affairs Committee. Books issued by monasteries must be reviewed and formally approved to be published.
