Note 500 — Chapter I · JURISDICTION

Although, according to the rules of interpretation, by the word Moniales in the Papal Bulls, only Moniales in the strict sense are to be understood, that is, the members of a Religious Order approved by the Holy See, who observe the Papal inclosure; yet Benedict XIV has expressly declared, in his Bull “Pastoralis curæ,” that the ordinances of the Trid. Sess. XXV. cp. 10 de Regul. et Mon. which contain a part of the present discipline, only apply claustralibus monialibus.
