What are you even talking about?
The very reason Fr Feeney disobeyed valid authorities is because of his views, which are false and heretical.
You have no idea what you are talking about. It's a repeating pattern. Grow up, go learn, study, and come back here with some humility.
Fr Feeney was summoned to Rome for a disciplinary hearing. Under canon law, he is allowed to ask "why" and get a canon lawyer. That's basic law.
The lawyer in charge of the case for rome (i.e. the prosecutor) would not give Fr Feeney an answer. So Fr Feeney ignored the request and then was excommunicated.
If Fr Feeney's charges were legit, he would've been told "why" and then had a lawyer to explain his side of the story. But rome ignored canon law, which is illegal, so Fr Feeney ignored their summons.
Imagine if a cop pulls you over and starts asking you questions about your work, your house, etc. You tell him "I plead the 5th, I want a lawyer and I'm not talking." But the cop arrests you because you're "not cooperating". Well, under the constitution, you don't have to "cooperate". You have the right to remain silent. The cop's charge is bogus, and his arrest of you is false. But the news headlines would say that you're a criminal and were arrested. Is that fair to you? Is that the truth? No.
The whole excommunication thing is a nothingburger. It was based on "disobedience" to a sham court. Had nothing to do with his books.
