Ever the reliable killjoys - why were the residents of Calcata threatened with the strictest form of excommunication (Vitandus - 'to be shunned') by The Vatican in the year 1900?

No googling or wikipedia allowed.

There are klaxons - of course - so be bold, preferably interesting, but never obvious.
