The Rule of St. Benedict - Chapter 3. Summoning The Brothers For Counsel

(7) Accordingly in every instance, all are to follow the teaching of the rule, and no one shall rashly deviate from it.
(8) In the monastery no one is to follow his own heart's desire,
(9) nor shall anyone presume to contend with his abbot defiantly, or outside the monastery.
(10) Should anyone presume to do so, let him be subjected to the discipline of the rule.
(11) Moreover, the abbot himself must fear God and keep the rule in everything he does; he can be sure beyond any doubt that he will have to give an account of all his judgments to God, the most just of judges.

(12) If less important business of the monastery is to be transacted, he shall take counsel with the seniors only,
(13) as it is written: "Do everything with counsel and you will not be sorry afterward," (Sir 32:24).
