Canon 3
On the sodomites.
[...] And now, because it is known that this deathly act and wrong of the sodomitical deed have wounded many people, therefore we, fervent with the zeal of the Lord to extirpate this filthy custom, decree that perpetrators of this nefarious act who agreed to implicate themselves in this obscenities and as a male with a male did this obscenity against nature - if [one guilty of such thing] is a bishop, presbyter, or a deacon, he shall be removed from his grade and condemned with a perpetual exile. If he is of another order, grade, or another personal status and has been found involved in this noxious filth, he shall receive the punishment prescribed by this law and shall be rejected from the Christian community, and moreover flogged with one hundred lashes, badly decalvated, and sent to the perpetual exile. And those who polluted the religious cult as well as the other people, as we have said, of whatever order shall know that they will not be raised up to receive the communion even on the day of death according to the institutions of the canons nor rejoined with the community of the Catholics unless having satisfied the worthy penance they will be permitted to receive the body and blood of Christ.
