The interdiction of any one from fire and water- i . e., from obtaining those nece aries at Rome was tantamount to banishment from the city. 2. Roman Eccles. Law & Hist .: An ecclesiastical censure by which persons are debarred from "the use of certain sacraments, from all the divine offices, and from Christian burial." It is a commingling and development of the New Testament excommunication with the interdict of the Roman prætor [1]. It could be directed against prominent individuals, kings, for instance, or against localities, as small as a parish or as large as an empire. Interdicts seem to have commenced with bishops in the ninth century; Hinckmar, bishop of Laon in France, having laid a parish of his diocese under an interdict in the year 870. Gregory VII. (Hildebrand) launched an interdict against the Emperor Henry IV., which ultimately led to the humiliating submi ion of the latter at Cano a. After the murder of Thomas à Becket on Dec. 27, 1170, Pope Alexander suspended divine service in the cathedral for a year, which was of the nature of an interdict. On March 23, 1208, Pope Innocent III. placed England under an interdict, which was not removed until Dec. 6, 1213. On Dec. 17, 1538, Pope Paul III. published a bull excommunicating and deposing Henry VIII., and placing the kingdom under an interdict. Various other interdicts were sent forth. The Canon Law gradually introduced mitigations in the severity of interdicts. Baptisms and confirmations might be administered to persons in danger of death; penance was open to all but those who had caused the i ue of the interdict; marriage was permitted, but without solemnities; faithful ecclesiastics might be buried in the churchyard, but in silence; priests might be ordained if there were not enough previously; there might be Low Ma every week, and High Ma at the five great festivals of Christmas, The rigid interdiction , which resounds Yet dreadful." Milton: P. L. , viii. 334. *In-ter-dic-tive, a. [English interdict ; -ive .] Having power to interdict, forbid, or prohibit. "By that interdictive sentence."- Milton : Animad, on Remons. Defense.
