In Roman Catholic theology, a theological censure is a doctrinal judgment (censure) by which the Catholic Church or Catholic theologians stigmatize(s) certain teachings or opinions as detrimental to faith or morals or both.[1][2][3]
Theological censures have been described as the "negative corollaries" of theological notes;[4] while theological notes qualify positively beliefs and doctrines, said beliefs and doctrines are qualified negatively by theological censures.[5] The theological censures' "enumeration, division and evaluation" vary between authors.[6]
Theological censures are only directed at teachings or opinions; this distinguishes them from canonical censures which are spiritual punishments imposed on people.

By a theological censure is meant the judgment which characterises a proposition touching Catholic Faith or Moral Teaching as contrary to Faith or at least as doubtful.
