In 16th century France weevils were tried in ecclesiastical court after an exceptionally bad year of damage to vineyards in the town of St. Julian. The church ultimately decided to grant the weevils a plot of land in exchange for the weevils departing from the vineyards, and the church threatened to excommunicated the weevils if they broke the agreement, or maybe anathematize them depending on the source. The weevils (whose populations follow boom-bust cycles...!) seemed to go away next year. Alas, in 1587, the weevils broke their agreement with the Catholic church and returned to infest the vineyards again.

I've got a sticker of this on my Etsy shop now too, if you want to be reminded of the excommunicated weevils on the regular! It's here: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4499357861/weevil-expelled-from-heaven-sticker
