Answer:

an interdict.

Step-by-step explanation:

An interdict is a term that refers to an ecclesiastical censorship that used to happen in medieval Christianity. This type of censorship caused a person, or a group of people, to be prevented from participating in the religious rituals and services that the church could offer. This prohibition could be temporary or permanent. The text shown in the question above is an example of a ban because it shows a "... suspension of religion in public exercise, including even the rites of marriage and burial."
