Canon 372

1. After completing the formation which is required for sacred

orders clerics are not to stop devoting attention to the sacred

sciences. Indeed they are to take measures to acquire a more

profound and timely knowledge and use of them through formative

courses approved by their own hierarch. 2. They are to attend

conferences which the hierarch has judged suitable for promoting

the sacred sciences and pastoral matters. 3. Also, they are

not to neglect to acquire for themselves as much knowledge of

profane sciences, especially those sciences connected more intimately with the sacred sciences, such as those which cultured

people ought to have.
