Canon 10-11
Alypius, bishop of Thagasta said: If a presbyter, censured by his bishop, was inflated by his pride and thought that he could offer God's sacrifice separately or erect another altar, believing that he could act against the ecclesiastic faith and discipline, we should not allow him to go unpunished.
Valentinus, the primate of Numidia, said: What our brother Alypius said is necessary for ecclesiastical discipline and consonant with the faith; therefore please declare what do you think about it.
All the bishops said: if a presbyter was censured by his superior, he should refer to neighbouring bishops so that his case may be heard by them and he can be reconciled with his bishop through them.
But if he did not do it, and, God forbid!, inflated by pride, he separated himself from the bishop of his communion, and separately, with others, offered to God sacrifice creating a schism, he will be anathematised and also dismissed from that place. He should be also removed far away from the city in which he lives.
And if he has not justified grievances against his bishop, there should be inquiry into it.
