If a king took too much land or invaded an ally of the church, the pope could excommunicate the king [remove him from the church, therefore, condemning him to hell] or place an interdict on the whole region, denying all of the people the right to attend church services, the sacraments such as confession, last rites, Eucharist, and refusal to perform marriage ceremonies
