The whole article seems more advocative than informational. Exhortative lines like "It is time that members of these groups stop pretending to be aligned with the Church" seem very out of place in an encyclopedia.
What he said
I concur. While it is inevitable that our values will express themselves in our contributions, I feel it is not appropriate to put overt value judgements in an article. Particularly one that seems to advocate a specific course of action.
Thus, while I agree in principle that "it is time that members of these groups stop pretending to be aligned with the Church," I feel that a better approach would be to say something like, "while these groups sometimes represent themselves as being aligned with the Church, it does not endorse them."
