Canon 1331. §1 An excommunicated person is prohibited:

1° from celebrating the Sacrifice of the Eucharist and the other sacraments;

2° from receiving the sacraments;

3° from administering sacramentals and from celebrating the other ceremonies of liturgical worship;

4° from taking an active part in the celebrations listed above;

5° from exercising any ecclesiastical offices, duties, ministries or functions;

6° from performing acts of governance.

§2 If a ferendae sententiae excommunication has been imposed or a latae sententiae excommunication declared, the offender:

1° proposing to act in defiance of the provision of §1 nn. 1-4 is to be removed, or else the liturgical action is to be suspended, unless there is a grave reason to the contrary;

2° invalidly exercises any acts of governance which, in accordance with §1 n. 6, are unlawful;

3° is prohibited from benefiting from privileges already granted;

4° does not acquire any remuneration held in virtue of a merely ecclesiastical title;

5° is legally incapable of acquiring offices, duties, ministries, functions, rights, privileges or honorific titles.

§1. Excommunicatus prohibetur:

1° Eucharistiae Sacrificium et reliqua sacramenta celebrare;

2° sacramenta recipere;

3° sacramentalia administrare et reliquas cultus liturgici caeremonias celebrare;

4° in celebrationibus antea recensitis ullam partem activam habere;

5° ecclesiastica officia, munera, ministeria et functiones exercere;

6° actus regiminis ponere.

§2. Quod si excommunicatio ferendae sententiae irrogata vel latae sententiae declarata sit, reus:

1° si agere velit contra praescriptum§1, nn. 1-4, est arcendus aut a liturgica actione est cessandum, nisi gravis obstet causa;

2° invalide ponit actus regiminis, qui ad normam§1, n. 6, sunt illiciti;

3° prohibetur frui privilegiis antea concessis;

4° retributiones, quae ob titulum mere ecclesiasticum habeat, non acquirit;

5° inhabilis est ad consequenda officia, munera, ministeria, functiones, iura, privilegia et titulos honorificos.
Canon 1332. §1 One who is under interdict is obliged by the prohibitions mentioned in can.
1331 §1 nn. 1-4.

§2 A law or precept may however define the interdict in such a way that the offender is prohibited only from certain particular actions mentioned in can. 1331 §1 nn. 1-4, or from certain other particular rights.

§3 The provision of can. 1331 §2 n. 1 is to be observed also in the case of interdict.

§1. Interdictus tenetur prohibitionibus, de quibus in can. 1331,§1, nn. 1-4.

§2. Lex tamen vel praeceptum interdictum definire eo modo potest, ut tantum quaedam singulares actiones, de quibus in can. 1331,§1, nn. 1-4, vel alia quaedam singularia iura reo prohibeantur.

§3. Etiam in casu interdicti praescriptum can. 1331,§2, n. 1, servandum est.
Canon 1333. §1. Suspension prohibits:

1° all or some of the acts of the power of order;

2° all or some of the acts of the power of governance;

3° the exercise of all or some of the rights or functions attaching to an office.

§2 In a law or a precept it may be prescribed that, after a judgement or decree which impose or declare the penalty, a suspended person cannot validly perform acts of governance.

§3 The prohibition never affects:

1° any offices or power of governance which are not within the control of the Superior who establishes the penalty;

2° a right of residence which the offender may have by virtue of office;

3° the right to administer goods which may belong to an office held by the person suspended, if the penalty is latae sententiae.

§4 A suspension prohibiting the receipt of benefits, stipends, pensions or other such things, carries with it the obligation of restitution of whatever has been unlawfully received, even though this was in good faith.

§1. Suspensio prohibet:

1° omnes vel aliquos actus potestatis ordinis;

2° omnes vel aliquos actus potestatis regiminis;

3° exercitium omnium vel aliquorum iurium vel munerum officio inhaerentium.

§2. In lege vel praecepto statui potest, ut post sententiam vel decretum, quae poenam irrogant vel declarant, actus regiminis suspensus valide ponere nequeat.

§3. Prohibitio numquam afficit:

1° officia vel regiminis potestatem, quae non sint sub potestate Superioris poenam constituentis;

2° ius habitandi, si quod reus ratione officii habeat;

3° ius administrandi bona, quae ad ipsius suspensi officium forte pertineant, si poena sit latae sententiae.

§4. Suspensio prohibens fructus, stipendium, pensiones aliave eiusmodi percipere, obligationem secumfert restituendi quidquid illegitime, quamvis bona fide, perceptum sit.
Canon 1334. §1 The extent of a suspension, within the limits laid down in the preceding canon, is defined either by the law or precept, or by the judgement or decree whereby the penalty is imposed.

§2. A law, but not a precept, can establish a latae sententiae suspension without an added determination or limitation; such a penalty has all the effects enumerated in can. 1333 §1.

§1. Suspensionis ambitus, intra limites in canone praecedenti statutos, aut ipsa lege vel praecepto definitur, aut sententia vel decreto quo poena irrogatur.

§2. Lex, non autem praeceptum, potest latae sententiae suspensionem, nulla addita determinatione vel limitatione, constituere; eiusmodi autem poena omnes effectus habet, qui in can. 1333,§1 recensentur.
Canon 1335. §1 If the competent authority imposes or declares a censure in a judicial process or by an extra-judicial decree, it can also impose the expiatory penalties it considers necessary to restore justice or repair scandal.

§2 If a censure prohibits the celebration of the sacraments or sacramentals or the performing of acts of the power of governance, the prohibition is suspended whenever this is necessary to provide for the faithful who are in danger of death. If a latae sententiae censure has not been declared, the prohibition is also suspended whenever one of the faithful requests a sacrament or sacramental or an act of the power of governance; for any just reason it is lawful to make such a request.

§1. Si censuram infligat vel declaret in processu iudiciali aut per decretum extra iudicium, auctoritas competens potest quoque eas poenas expiatorias imponere, quas ad iustitiam restituendam vel ad scandalum reparandum necessarias censeat.

§2. Si censura prohibeat celebrare sacramenta vel sacramentalia vel ponere actum potestatis regiminis, prohibitio suspenditur, quoties id necessarium sit ad consulendum fidelibus in mortis periculo constitutis; quod si censura latae sententiae non sit declarata, prohibitio praeterea suspenditur, quoties fidelis petit sacramentum vel sacramentale vel actum potestatis regiminis; id autem petere ex qualibet iusta causa licet.
