Stressing that the abbey is Benedictine, the pope confirms papal protection. No tithes are to be owed on harvests produced by the monks’ own labour or on oblations or revenues granted to the community. Baptism and burial can be performed in the abbey’s churches, saving parochial rights. The cemeteries attached to the abbey and its dependent churches are to be available to those who wish burial, provided they are not excommunicates. The abbot and community can admit clergy and laity as confratres and can bury them. The abbot’s election will be according to the Benedictine Rule. The ordination of an abbot is to be the prerogative of the patriarch of Jerusalem if the elect finds travelling to Rome for consecration difficult.
