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.
