Monks have used their free will, to decide to become a monk. Whether they continue to use their free will in all of their lifestyle, as a monk, depending upon the order to which they belong, is still in their hands.

If they are following biblical teachings then those who have placed themselves under leaders will need to be like it says in Hebrews 13:17 Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you
