Who excommunicated him...

The Church council. The Roman Catholic Church only started after 300 AD.

Who headed the church council then or who are the members that made up its body.

Cos the last time I checked my history books, Pope Pius I was the bishop of Rome when the movement started, he was the one that opposed marcion and later excommunicated him.

keep shooting yourself in the leg with this your article cos I bet you, by the time you will be through with this your thread, you will be surprised the credit you must have given the one single church you so much dislike.
