Expel from the church (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

excommunicate

(Other definitions for excommunicate that I've seen before include "Officially ban from church" , "Deprive of church privileges" , "Exclude from church" , "removed from church" , "Cut off from church sacraments" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
