Canon 441

1. In monasteries superiors and synaxes have that power which

is determined in the common law and the typicon. 2. Superiors

in monasteries sui iuris have power of governance insofar as it

is expressly granted to them in law or by the authority to which

they are subject, without prejudice to can. 979. 3. Beyond

what is determined by common law, the power of the president of a

monastic confederation must be determined in the statutes of the

same confederation.
