A papal decree denying groups access to sacraments is known as an excommunication. This formal penalty reflects the Church's stance that certain actions or beliefs are incompatible with communion in the faith. Excommunication serves as both a disciplinary measure and a call for repentance, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity of Church teachings and sacramental life. It is intended to encourage the individual or group to reconcile with the Church's doctrines.
