(see BAPTISM ) for eight days, from Easter eve till the Sunday after Easter (hence called Dominica in albis), but they were subject to strict supervision for some time longer and, on the authority of r Tim. iii. 6, were generally held ineligible for election as bishops, a rule to which, however, history shows some notable exceptions, as in the cases of St Ambrose at Milan in 374 and Synesius of Cyrene at Ptolemais in 409, who were chosen bishops before they were even baptized. By the council of Nicaea (325) this rule was extended to the priest-hood. The ancient discipline is still maintained in the Roman Church, and applies to converts from Christian sects as well as to those from heathenism. The period, however, is deter-mined by circumstances. The term " neophyte " is also some-times applied in the Roman Church to newly ordained priests, and eventhough rarelyto novices of a religious order. In a transferred sense the word is also given to one beginning to learn any new subject.
