Statute 31
Overview
This statute establishes a normal three-year period of instruction for catechumens while allowing conduct to determine whether a shorter period is appropriate.
1Statute 31: Concerning the period during which they shall hear instruction after they have given up their occupations.
2The catechumens shall remain for three years, hearing the word of instruction. Yet if someone is a good student and knows good conduct, no set length of time need be required for him to hear; his conduct alone shall decide his case.
