I have a strong suspicion he would have been excommunicated even without that theory!

The very idea that a Cambridge educated biologist would test potential paranormal links with animals was enough, I suspect. Rupert has Maddox's clip on his website, and it is interesting that he didn't try to fault Rupert's results, merely condemn him for "re-introducing magic into the explanation of physical and biological phenomena".
