  Article 124 - Anathema  
124.1 Anathema  
  When any officer of any society demonstrates complete contempt in refusing to obey and acknowledge the orders given within a Anicetum Decernere (Final Irrevocable Judgment), Great Divine Writ, or valid Ecclesiastical Deed, then such an officer shall be subject to the formal ritual of Anathema - in the forbidding of holding any office whilst they are alive and the complete removal of their name and positions held from all earthly records.
 
  Furthermore, when an alternate society demonstrates complete contempt in refusing to obey and acknowledge superior Rule of Law, then one or more positions of office may be subject to the formal ritual of Anathema, banishing such positions of office, or society at large from all earth records for future generations.  
  There are therefore two kinds of Anathema, namely Anathema Minima and Anathema Maxima.  
124.2 Anathema Minima  
  When an officer holder has clearly demonstrated contempt for Divine Canon Law in Accordance with this sacred Covenant and has refused to cure and remedy their dishonor having been duly served either a Anicetum Decernere (Final Irrevocable Judgment) or Final Notice issued with the powers of the One Heaven Supreme Court, then the most grave penalty of Anathema may be issued.  
  By this Covenant, Anathema Minima means this man or woman shall be henceforth ineligible to ever hold office again whilst being incarnated in flesh, even if they subsequently repent.  
  Furthermore, their name shall be struck from all public records, and all official records as ever holding any official office from all time and all history so that future generations shall never know that such an individual ever existed.  
  As the erasure of an individual from living memory is the most gravest of penalties for an officer who demonstrates utter contempt for the Rule of Law and the supreme jurisdiction of this Covenant, it remains a penalty of last resort and a valid caution for other office holders of societies against such similar action.  
  Anathema applies only to the flesh and name of the disgraced officer and not to their immortal being. The Anathema has no bearing on the individuals absolute right as a member of One Heaven, nor shall it impact whatsoever their equality and rights in the hereafter.  
124.3 Anathema Maxima  
  When an alternate society has clearly demonstrated contempt for Divine Canon Law in Accordance with this sacred Covenant and has refused to cure and remedy their dishonor having been duly served either a Anicetum Decernere (Final Irrevocable Judgment) or Final Notice issued with the powers of the One Heaven Supreme Court, then the most grave penalty of Anathema may be issued against an office of the society or the society as a whole.  
  By this Covenant, Anathema Maxima means this office or this society shall henceforth be illegitimate and shall be erased from history for all time.  
  As the erasure of an office or a society at large from living memory is the most gravest of penalties for any office or alternate society that demonstrates utter contempt for the Rule of Law and the supreme jurisdiction of this Covenant, it remains a penalty of last resort and a valid caution for other office holders of societies against such similar action.  
124.4 How an Anathema is applied  
  An Anathema is applied and in force when the penalty of anathema is evoked within a Anicetum Decernere (Final Irrevocable Judgment) or Final Notice issued with the powers of the One Heaven Supreme Court and the deadline for cure or remedy passes without restoration of honor by the officer concerned.  
  It is not necessary for a formal ritual or ceremony to be performed thereafter as such a notice is first registered as a spiritual document in the Great Register of One Heaven and any subsequent printed document is merely an authenticated abstract. Therefore, the notice or final judgment has full spiritual life and shall self execute if the deadline passes without cure or remedy.  
124.5 Invalid and unlawful Anathema  
  An Anathema is considered unlawful and invalid if it is issued by a society, or officer not having valid authority under this Covenant. Such claims shall be considered invalid curses and all such actions shall be immediately returned upon the make or their heirs with interest ab initio (from the beginning).  
  Furthermore, an Anathema is considered invalid if issued against an existing valid officer, office or Ucadian Society.  
  It is hereby pronounced that all Anathema and curses issued with the effect of Anathema prior to the Day of Divine Protest and Dishonor are hereby rendered null and void with all such curses returned upon the makers and their appointed heirs with interest without mercy nor immunity.  
  Furthermore, any pronouncement of Anathema thereafter the Day of Divine Protest and Dishonor not issued in accordance with the Covenant of One Heaven shall have no spiritual, moral or legal effect and shall be null and void from the beginning.  
124.6 Valid Anathema  
  A valid Anathema issued by this covenant is not a curse, as the demonstrated contempt by the officer refusing to obey and acknowledge Rule of Law is a self-curse issued by the individual against the law itself, this covenant and united Heaven.  
  Therefore, the valid Anathema is a return of that curse and contempt issued by the officer in a formal presentment, thus completing the curse first issued openly and knowingly by the disgraced officer, not One Heaven.
