'''Infamy''', in common usage, is notoriety gained from a negative incident or reputation (as opposed to [[Celebrity|fame]]). The word stems from the [[Latin]] ''infamia'', antonym of ''fama'' (fame).

Infamy is a term of art in [[Roman Catholic]] [[Canon Law]]. The remainder of this article discusses infamy as defined by Canon Law. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia of 1913, infamy in the canonical sense is defined as the privation or lessening of one's good name as the result of the bad rating which he has, even among prudent men. It constitutes an irregularity, i.e. a canonical impediment which prevents one being ordained or exercising such orders as he may have already received.

==Infamy of fact==

''Infamy of fact'' is the result of a widespread opinion, by which the community attributes some unusually serious delinquency, such as adultery or the like, to a person. This is more of an unfitness than an irregularity properly so called, unless sentence in court has been pronounced. It ceases therefore when one has shown by a change of life extending over a period of two or probably three years that his repentance is sincere.

A crime consisting in acts which society not only forbids but also considers as highly immoral and particularly dishonoring, as defined (variously) in certain legal systems, as in Poland; in its origin, in Ancient Rome, ''infamia'' was the mark of disapproval of the censors on moral grounds - often such 'legal immorality' is largely defined according to the state - or de facto dominant religion.

In the [[Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth]] infamy (infamia) was a more severe form of [[exile]] sentence. A noble who has been sentenced to infamy, known as ''infamis'' lost the protection of the law and there was a reward for his death (this was similar to the common law concept of outlawry). In addition, an exiled noble (''banita'') who killed an infamed one could expect his exile sentence to be revoked.
