He was excommunicated, though. He has to have done something respectable at some point.

Did anyone say why he was excomm'd?

Eh.  Honestly, if I had to guess he was ecommunicated for being weak... like physically.   in a move to consolidate leadership power.

From what I've heard, the daughter is actually more hardline crazy than Fred was, and that it was done to consolidate the power under her, as you suggest.  I don't think it was about physical weakness though.

One of the funniest things I saw, was some internet interview between one of their ilk, some reporter, and a member of Anonymous.  At one point during the back and forth, the woman from WBC said it'd be impossible for Anonymous to touch their website, at which point the member of Anonymous said your website is down, take a look.  *chuckle* 

Here it is - Happens around the 3 minute mark.
