DES CONSIDÉRATIONS CONCERNANT LE DROIT DE SUCCESSION DES HIÉRARQUES ET DES MOINES, COMME CONFIGURÉ DANS LE STATUT D’ORGANISATION ET DE FONCTIONNEMENT DE L’ÉGLISE ORTHODOXE ROUMAINE
CONSIDERATIONS CONCERNING THE RIGHT OF SUCCESSION OF HIERARCHS AND MONKS, AS CONFIGURED IN THE STATUTE OF ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONING OF THE ROMANIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH

Summary/Abstract: The status of hierarch and that of monk represent, in the Church, specific forms by which people endowed with certain qualities and who manifest a certain vocation serve God and people. By assuming this status, these people must also respect certain obligations such as chastity, poverty and unconditional obedience. Therefore, in both cases, it is a strict regime, because there are legal incidents and privations, which are based on ecclesial law. Such deprivation is also imposed in the field of the right of succession, the Romanian Orthodox Church, choosing in the case of hierarchs and monks, a derogatory regime compared to common law. The modality of configuration and the problematic aspects concerning it are included in the present study, the approach being interdisciplinary.
