Editing Interdict (section)

===Effects===
{{see also|Legal history of the Catholic Church}}
A local interdict forbade general public celebration of sacred rites. Exceptions were made [[Last rites|for the dying]], and local interdicts were almost entirely suspended on five feasts of the year: [[Christmas Day]], [[Easter Sunday]], [[Pentecost]], [[Corpus Christi (feast)|Corpus Christi]] and the [[Assumption of Mary]].<ref name=Boudinhon/>

Those who were under personal interdict were forbidden to be at any religious rite except preaching of the word of God. While mere attendance by them did not require that they be expelled, those well-known to be under interdict were to be prevented from taking any active part.<ref>[http://www.intratext.com/IXT/LAT0813/_P89.HTM 1917 Code of Canon Law, canon 2275]</ref>
