In the letter it criticizes Father Feeney for speaking against catechetical  instructions approved by the competent authority. That would be Cushing himself and the main teaching which precipitated this controversy was what was being taught at Boston College with the approval of the competent authority.
A bit of research will show that the disputed teaching which was taking place was clearly heretical, and that is what the SBC were basing their charges of Cushing being a heretic. Which it can be shown that he was.
Fr. Feeney was told to stop teaching the foundational dogma of the Church because it was "causing problems" for the authorities among the non-Catholics and Jews.

It is a sorry wagon that LoH and his ilk, hitch their wagon to.

Father Leonard Feeney was excommunicated only for disobedience, not for going against the faith.

Incorrect. The letter from the Holy Office in 1949 to the Archbishop of Boston (
hereclearly states, "Furthermore, it is beyond understanding how a member of a religious Institute, namely Father Feeney, presents himself as a "Defender of the Faith," and at the same time does not hesitate to attack the catechetical instruction proposed by lawful authorities...". The circuмstances surrounding the excommunication were printed in an article in "The Catholic Advance" on February 27, 1953, which can be seen here. Pope Pius XII made three separate requests for Father Feeney to come to Rome. Clearly this meeting was to be about Father Feeney's denial of a Catholic doctrine, but when he did not show for the hearing, this was the final straw.

Looking at the letter from the Holy Office (
here), the introductory letter from Archbishop Cushing clearly states, ...

Logic continues to elude your heresy-riddled mind.  As I mentioned, the only affirmation that Pius XII approved this comes from none other than Cushing.  It's circular evidence.  We know this letter is authentic because it says it is.

Correct.  Applying LoT's own principles, the See of Boston was vacant due to manifest heresy on the part of Cushing.

Ultimate truth.  The TRUTH Himself.  Jesus Christ.  All truths.  I hate falsity and love truth.  

"...Except when it is convenient for me to calumniate a priest, as I calumniated Monsignor Francis Cassano by calling him a Mason when he wasn't.  But he deserved this because he said there was nothing wrong with the theology of Fr. Feeney in his book, 'Bread of Life,' when I wanted him to say it was full of heresy and nastiness.  I also hate falsity and love truth, except when I deny that I called Feeneyites the same as pedophiles, and then posted that I "never said' that.  Someone found my post and re-posted it, but I am ignoring this my lie and wicked assertion, the same way I am ignoring how I calumniated Monsignor Cassano, because I like the sound of crickets - and I also like the sound of my footsteps as I run away from owning up to my public errors. But despite all this,  the main thing to remember is I really do hate falsity and love truth.  All this helps the readers of my theological posts to believe that I really have personal integrity, and they can therefore trust my miles of sound theories, and scintillating logic."
