Ipso facto is a Latin term which is translated as 'by the fact itself' and it means that a certain effect is a direct consequence of ones action.
If you are ipso facto excommunicated, it means you get automatically excommunicated by a certain deed itself, eg. if a priest gives absolution to his lover, or if someone hits the pope, he gets ipso facto excommunicated, just by doing this.

Can a priest ban you from a parish for no reason?
For a priest to ban someone from the church without reasons is not possible. before one can be baned from a congregation he must have done something dis-speakable that led to to priest actions.Opinion of a CatholicActually, I know of no way in which a priest can ban a person from a parish, I do not think its possible. The only legal recourse similar to this would be excommunication, which is only possible for by a Pope or a Bishop, and in the case of excommunication one is banned from receiving the sacraments, but you are still required to attend Mass.

Why did the medieval Christian church use excommunication and the interdict?
Catholic AnswerExcommunication and Interdiction were used in the medieval Church the same as they are today - to save people's souls. These are the most extreme punishments used to bring people to their senses, and only used in the most extreme cases. Excommunication is used to deny a person access to the sacraments, except of course, confession; interdiction denies the sacraments to a whole area or country. Though relatively rare, excommunication today is much more common as several very serious sins, such as procuring a successful abortion, incur automatic excommunication.

Will you be arrested for going awol in the National Guard?
Yes The National Guard is a military orginization and you have made a commitment to it. They can and will send you to Jail if you go AWOL Some things to clarify here... the only time you can actually be AWOL from a National Guard unit is when that unit is federally activated under orders which transfer the command from the National Guard to the Regular Army... ipso facto, it's technically not possible to be AWOL from the National Guard, since the unit is no longer National Guard when activated in such a fashion. If you miss UTAs, that's not treated as AWOL.
