To be excommunicated means to be excluded from the community of believers. It is a severe penalty intended to express the severity of a particular act and to encourage the person excommunicated to examine their actions and seek reconciliation with the church. It is a tool used by the church to correct members for egregious acts which violate the teaching of the church on matters of faith and morals. Some excommunications are incurred automatically. Others are conferred. Each is a penalty to encourage reflection and reconciliation. A person thus excommunicated cannot receive the sacraments of the church until the matter is resolved.
