Gregory to Lucidus, bishop of Lentini. Our son John, an abbot, asks that a presbyter be ordained for him in his own monastery from that same community. And therefore we have thought fit to exhort your Fraternity by this present authority, that the man whom he shall have offered to you from his community for consecration to the priesthood, you diligently inquire into concerning him, as is the custom, into whatever things ought to be examined; and if nothing shall have been found in him which can stand in his way, you consecrate him canonically, as is the custom, granting him no other privilege except that in his own community, as often as it shall be opportune, he ought only to celebrate the sacred mysteries of the Masses. In the month of August, indiction 5.
