[Capitulum secundum cod. A] X. Ne aliorum clerici ab aliis promoueantur.

Episcopi quoque ab aliis episcopis ordinatos clericos, sine permissu eorum a quibus fuerint ordinati promouere ad superiorem ordinem non praesumant, ne concordiam fraternam iniuria illata contaminet.

(ed. Munier 1963: 154, 158)

[Title according to cod. A] X. That clerics of other [bishops] should not be promoted [to higher ecclesiastical positions].

Bishops should not dare to promote to the higher ecclesiastical positions clerics ordained by other bishops without their permission, so that this injustice would not contaminate the fraternal unity.

About the source:

Title: Council of Vannes, Concilium Veneticum anno 461/491
Origin: Vannes (Gaul)
Denomination: Catholic/Nicene/Chalcedonian

This council took place in Vannes in Brittany sometime between 461 and 491. The acts of this synod are known from the letter which the synodal fathers – six bishops, with the Bishop Perpetuus of Tours mentioned in first place – have sent to the absent Bishops Victor and Thalasius. The main cause for the episcopal gathering was the ordination of Paternus to the bishopric of Vannes.
