This paper examines the central aspects of the relationship between priesthood and monasticism, which are prominent in canonical sources, mainly in canonical provisions. In particular, the first chapter examines spiritual fatherhood and confession in the fathers of coenobitic monasticism, Saint Pachomius and Basil the Great. The spiritual foundations of the first fathers of coenobitic monasticism up to Theodore the Studite are then presented. The dynamic presence of monks in the Church led to the formation of the tendency, especially after the iconoclasm, for monks (unholy) to become confessors of laymen as well, given that the latter had a special regard for the former, considering them to be in a higher spiritual state. Thus, based on the data of the sources, the issue of the exercise of spiritual fatherhood by monks is critically presented, as we find it in Symeon the New Theologian and in prominent canonists.

This paper examines the central aspects of the relationship between priesthood and monasticism, which are prominent in canonical sources, mainly in canonical provisions. In particular, the first chapter examines spiritual fatherhood and confession in the fathers of coenobitic monasticism, Saint Pachomius and Basil the Great. The spiritual foundations of the first fathers of coenobitic monasticism up to Theodore the Studite are then presented. The dynamic presence of monks in the Church led to the formation of the tendency, especially after the iconoclasm, for monks (unholy) to become confessors of laymen as well, given that the latter had a special regard for the former, considering them to be in a higher spiritual state. Thus, based on the data of the sources, the issue of the exercise of spiritual fatherhood by monks is critically presented, as we find it in Symeon the New Theologian and in prominent canonists. The first chapter concludes with the presentation of the theme of spiritual paternity, which, proceeding towards the end of the Byzantine Empire, also occupied the great liturgist of the time, Saint Symeon, Archbishop of Thessaloniki (1416/17-1429). The second chapter presents the liturgical-canonical framework of sacramental worship in the relationship between priesthood and monastic formation, with the highlighting and commentary of relevant information contained in the sources. In the same context, the canonical commentary on the self-transmission of the Divine Eucharist by ascetics - hermits is also presented, as well as the embassies of honor between priests and hieromonks in worship. Then, the theme of the haircut after ordination is presented, primarily of the high priests, as it is reflected in the 2nd canon of the Council of Hagia Sophia (879/880). Then, an attempt is made to examine the relationship between ordination and circumcision to baptism and royal anointing in terms of the forgiveness of sins, raising the question of whether both hierarchal ordination and circumcision have the same effect. This chapter concludes with the presentation of the issue of who has the authority to circumcise monks and nuns. The third chapter presents the canonical relationship between celibate and married clergy and monasticism. Thus, the issue of the marriage of clergy, mainly of hierarchs and celibate clergy, in relation to monastic life, is studied, as reflected in the precepts of the Holy Bible, the teaching of the Apostles, primarily of St. Paul, the apostolic canons, the canons of the fathers of monasticism and mainly of St. Basil, the laws of the State (Young Justinian, Leo the Wise, etc.), the canonical decisions of local and ecumenical Councils. The issue of the marriage or celibacy of bishops is then presented and how this is examined in the tradition of the Western Church. In addition, the context of the relationship between priesthood and monasticism in Saint Symeon of Thessaloniki is presented. Finally, the problematic of the principles regarding the marriage or celibacy of clergy is presented, as well as the canonical acceptance of the second marriage of widowed clergy, which concerns the Church, especially in modern times. The fourth and final chapter presents those ecclesiastical offices that are related to the married - unmarried clergy and monasticism, primarily those that refer to the relationship between the latter two, namely the Archdeacon or Protodeacon, the Protopresbyter, the Economou and the Archimandrite.
