Okay. So it is what I said, then. You don't like Liberation Theology, and therefore you feel free to declare him and his heretics and apostates.
Needless to say, I don't think they acknowledge your authority to excommunicate them, Pope Kandrathe. They think they're right about god, you think you're right about god, and unless the skies open up or you fight to the death, I don't see how you're going to settle that.
Louis Farrakhan is a complicated character, and while I think he's a nasty anti-semite, this is not the side of him that the black religious community regularily sees. They see the anti-poverty work and the anti-drug work, the social activism and the million man march. I don't think he deserves a lifetime acheivement award, I think he should probably go crawl into a hole somewhere and never come out. But I think Trinity had many reasons other than congratulating his jew-hating to give him one.
As per printing the open letter from Ali Bagdadhi, they printed an open letter addressed to a super-prominent member of their congregation. This is not an endorsement of its contents.
If these were just a couple examples from a career like, say, David Duke's? Fine, anti-semite. But the usually overzealous ADL cleared him, and I haven't seen anything that isn't one of the two above things, neither of which is very direct.

Afterthought: That's quite the hatchetjob of an article you have there.
