The act of communicating or ejecting ;

Note :
excommunication is of two kinds ,
the lesser and the greater ;
the lesser excommunication is a separation or suspension from partaking of the Eucharist ;
the greater is an absolute execution of the offender from the church and all its rights and advantages ,
even from social intercourse with the faithful .

In early times it was the most frequent and most severe method of executing ecclesiastical censure ,
although proper to be used ,
said Justinian , (
Nov .
123 ,)
only upon grave occasions .
The effect of it was to remove the excommunicated "
person not only from the sacred rites but from the society of men .
In a certain sense it interdicted the use of fire and water ,
like the punishment spoken of by Caesar , (
lib ,
6 de Bell .
Gall .).
as inflicted by the Druids .
Innocent IV .
called it the nerve of ecclesiastical discipline .
On repentance ,
the excommunicated person was absolved and received again to communion .
These are said to be the powers of binding and loosing the keys of the kingdom of heaven .
This kind of punishment seems to have been adopted from the Roman usage of interdicting the use of fire and water .
