Sinodos: The Apostolic Canons 20
1Concerning him who has been ordained through bribery. If there is a bishop or an elder or a deacon who has taken the grade of a priest by bribery, let him be deposed. And let him who ordained him also be deposed and removed forever from the priestly office and let them not associate with him in any respect, just as I removed Simon the Magician from me, I, Peter. 66 JOURNAL OF THE EXEGETICAL SOCIETY.
