Ipso facto
Template:Short description {{#invoke:other uses|otheruses}} Template:Italic title Template:Lang is a Latin phrase, directly translated as "by the fact itself",<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> which means that a specific phenomenon is a direct consequence, a resultant effect, of the action in question, instead of being brought about by a previous action. (Contrast this with the expressions "by itself" or "per se".) It is a term of art used in philosophy, law, and science.
Aside from its technical uses, it occurs frequently in literature, particularly in scholarly addenda: e.g., "Faustus had signed his life away, and was, Template:Lang, incapable of repentance" (from Christopher Marlowe, The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus) or "These prejudices are rooted in the idea that every tramp Template:Lang is a blackguard" (from George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London).
In Catholic canon law
Template:Main Template:Lang denotes the automatic character of the loss of membership in a religious body by someone guilty of a specified action.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Within the canon law of the Catholic Church, the phrase Template:Lang is more commonly used than Template:Lang with regard to ecclesiastical penalties such as excommunication. It indicates that the effect follows even if no verdict (in Latin, Template:Lang) is pronounced by an ecclesiastical superior or tribunal.
