Canon 55
Si quis saecularium amore religionis se ad quemcumque sacerdotum crediderit conferendum, ipse sibi eum quem erudiendi gratia susceperit uindicabit.
(ed. Munier 1963: 125)
Canon 55
If someone from the laity, out of religious affection, would confide himself to a priest in order to be directed, this priest will retain the one whom he has chosen to educate.

About the source:
Title: Second Council of Arles, Concilium Arelatense Secundum Origin: Arles (Gaul) Denomination: Catholic/Nicene/Chalcedonian
The so-called Second Council of Arles is in fact a collection of canons from several councils, namely the First Council of Arles in 314, the First Council of Nicea in 325, the First Council of Orange in 441, and the Council of Vaison 442. Therefore, the terminus post quem of the collection must be 442 and the terminus ante quem probably 506, the date of the Council of Agde, whose acts are not included in the collection. This collection also includes some canons of unknown origin, which are the only ones included in the database.
