The religious institution that banned trade with certain regions controlled by Muslims is the papacy/Catholic Church. To understand this answer, we can look into the historical context.
During the medieval period, there were conflicts between Christian Europe and Muslim-controlled regions such as the Middle East and North Africa. These conflicts included military tensions and the Crusades. As a result, the Catholic Church, led by the papacy, took various measures to limit interactions and trade with Muslims.
One significant example of this was the issuance of papal decrees known as "Papal Bulls." The purpose of these Bulls was to restrict economic relations with Muslims and their territories. One well-known example is the Papal Bull of Crusade, also known as the Bull of Gelnhausen, issued by Pope Urban II in 1086. This Bull forbade Christian trade with Muslims and called for a holy war against Muslim-controlled areas.
Therefore, the papacy and the Catholic Church were the religious institution that implemented these restricting measures, banning trade with certain regions controlled by Muslims during that period.
