Frage 66

Which pair gives the usual titles for the head of a monastery and the head of a convent?

  1. An abbot led a monastery and an abbess led a conventRichtige Antwort
  2. A bishop led a monastery and a prioress led a convent
  3. A prior led a monastery and a nun led a convent
  4. A pope led a monastery and a bishop led a convent

Erklärung

The head of a house of monks and the head of a house of nuns each governed their community, its discipline and its lands, and each had a title of their own within the monastic order rather than within the diocesan clergy. Naming a prior instead fails because that title normally belonged to a deputy or to the head of a smaller dependent house, not to the head of a full abbey.
