Canon 497

1. A member shall be held dismissed from the monastery by the

law itself, who: (1) has publicly rejected the Catholic faith;

(2) has celebrated or attempted marriage, even only a civil one.

2. The superior of the monastery sui iuris, having consulted

the council, shall in such cases without delay, after collecting

the proofs, issue a declaration on the facts so that the dismissal is juridically established, and he or she shall inform the

authority to whom the monastery is immediately subject of this as

soon as possible.
