| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Excommunication |
| | Consequently, a person unjustly excommunicated is in the same state as the justly excommunicated sinner who has repented and recovered the grace of God; he has not forfeited internal communion with the Church, and God can bestow upon him all necessary spiritual help. | | | As to the latter, however, it is not question of personal excommunication; the censure overtakes them in their corporate capacity, as members of a community in revolt against the true Church of Jesus Christ. | | | Excommunication was either threatened or inflicted in order to secure the observance of fasts and feasts, the payment of tithes, the obedience of inferiors, the denunciation of the guilty, also to compel the faithful to make known to ecclesiastical authority matrimonial impediments and other information. |

| | Opposed to these classes, the earlier and classic division of excommunication was: major excommunication, effective complete exclusion from the community of the faithful; minor excommunication, a deprivation of certain of the Church's benefits, e.g., reception of the Sacraments and public prayer. | | | A secondary purpose of excommunication may be said to be the spiritual protection of the faithful. | | | This correction takes the form of exclusion from the spiritual benefits of the Church as a society and Mystical Body of Christ. |

| | Excommunication |
| | Excommunication or proclaiming someone "anathema" is the Church's legal means by which a person is excluded from unity with the Church. | | | It is important to note that the only cases where formal excommunication has been used in recent history are by those bishops who have had the courage to stand up and do something to stop the confusion in the Church at least within their own diocese. | | | During the greatest part of the last 2000 years excommunication has been used by ecclesiastical authority, from local bishops to the Pope, to reign in those clerics and Catholic laymen who rebell against legitimate Church authority, the dogmas of the faith or who gave public scandal. |
