excommunication. An ecclesiastical censure which excludes those subject to it from the communion of the faithful and imposes certain other deprivations and disabilities. It does not profess to extend to the union of the soul with God. In the RC Church it is now one of the ‘medicinal’
penalties. It is either declared or imposed by an ecclesiastical authority, or incurred automatically, e.g. by procuring an abortion. All excommunicated persons are forbidden to celebrate the Sacraments or receive them (except when in danger of death), to take any ministerial part in public worship, or exercise any ecclesiastical office or act of government. If the excommunication has been imposed or declared, some additional consequences follow. In the C of E the BCP and the 1969
Canons envisage the possibility of excommunication, but its use is now very rare.
