The Rule of St. Benedict - Chapter 23. Excommunication For Faults

(Feb. 29 in leap year)

(1) If a brother is found to be stubborn or disobedient or proud, if he grumbles or in anyway despises the holy rule and defies the orders of his seniors,
(2) he should be warned twice privately by the seniors in accord with our Lord's injunction (Matt 18:15-16).
(3) If he does not amend, he must be rebuked publicly in the presence of everyone.
(4) But if even then he does not reform, let him be excommunicated, provided that he understands the nature of this punishment.
(5) If however he lacks understanding, let him undergo corporal punishment.
