 Abbot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ordinary attire of the abbot was according to rule to be the same as that of the monks.
For the reception of the sacraments, and for other religious offices, the abbot and his monks were commanded to attend the nearest church.
Sometimes the monks were directly subject to the lay abbot; sometimes he appointed a substitute to perform the spiritual functions, known usually as dean (decanus), but also as abbot (abbas legitimas, monasticus, regularis).

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Abbot
The authority of an Abbot is of two; kinds, one relating to the external government of the house, the other to the spiritual government of his subjects.
Abbots of the second grade, however, whose authority (though quasi-episcopal) is intra-territorial, cannot be considered ordinaries, nor can they lay any claim to the rights and privileges of bishops, excepting those, of course, which have been especially granted them by the Holy See.
His domestic authority empowers the Abbot to administer the property of the abbey, to maintain the discipline of the house, to compel the religious, even by penalties, to observe the Rule and the Constitutions of the Order, and to ordain whatever else may be essential for the preservation of peace and order in the community.

 The Saint Louis Abbey: The Abbot
First, the abbot is given a certain grace of office -- this is conferred on him by his blessing by the bishop.
First, the Rule gives two very clear teachings, which, like the abbot’s standing in the place of Christ in the monastery, must be believed by faith.

In the early days of our tenure as abbot we had removed a certain obstruction which divided the church with a dark wall, so that the beauty of the church would not be obscured by such barriers.
There were also a large number of abbots, monks and clerics as well as an uncountable crowd of laity, male and female.
Once we had restored the copper animals on the right side to prevent so much admirable material from perishing, we had the pulpit set up in such a way as to read the holy gospels in a higher place.

The Abbot girls and the Andover boys, she says, were not particularly different back thenónot in what they hoped for, not in what they were learning, not in what they wanted to do with their lives.
