Summary/Abstract: The regulations in force in the succession matter belong to the civil legislation, which also represents the general legislative framework applicable to all successions. But, as every rule has exceptions, there are also in this matter a series of special regulations, specifically those regarding the succession of Orthodox monks - a more delicate situation, regulated by the Statute for the Organization and Operation of the Romanian Orthodox Church, as an exception to to the general rule, based on solid reasons, which we will show in what follows. Even if there have been criticisms of these regulations, based on the misinterpretation of these norms or on the ignorance of the reasons that led to their enactment, through this study we aim to present these aspects in the light of the true intentions and to definitively clarify these aspects.
