CHAPTER XI
That the Brethren may not enter the Convents of Nuns,
I STRICTLY command all the Brethren that they do not hold any suspicious intercourse or counsel with women, nor enter the Convents of nuns, except those to whom special licence is granted by the Apostolic See. Nor shall they be godfathers to men or women, lest on this account any scandal should arise among the Brethren or concerning them.
