religious censure
Religious censure refers to the act of criticizing or disapproving of certain beliefs, practices, or individuals within a religious community. It involves the condemnation or reproach of religious ideas, actions, or individuals based on perceived deviations from established religious norms, doctrines, or values. Religious censure serves as a means of enforcing and upholding religious orthodoxy, maintaining moral standards, or protecting the integrity of religious teachings. It can also be used to discourage controversial or dissenting views within a religious group, often resulting in exclusion or social rejection of those who are censured.
