anathematized
Declared officially accursed
Anathematized means formally cursed or condemned, especially by religious authority.
To anathematize is to denounce someone or something as accursed, cast out from the community of the faithful: The church anathematized the heretic and his teachings.
More loosely, it means to curse or condemn vehemently: Critics anathematized the policy as morally bankrupt.
