You're just changing the subject. Fr Feeney was.not.excommunicated.for.what.he.said.or.wrote. Period. Fact. There's no debate on this issue.
To be frank, I mentioned the subject in passing and this isn't a central claim. I do not know how to differentiate the calumnies on Fr Feeney from the truth, I will stay neutral on the subject for now and put it in the list of things I need to study.
The only thing I know with absolute certainty and there is no debate at all on the question is that his position is false, according to people far more qualified than he was.
