No, faction X can be killed by anyone, and it does not have to be you. Its often easier to let others do your dirty work, in fact...

"Its just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. Then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns and also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?"

Re: Spain
Drop 4-5 spies into the city, and swarm it with assassins. Sabotage everything that gives public order: church, barracks, tavern, plaza del toro, etc. Between unrest from the spies and lack of bonuses you may drive the city into revolt. If it's their last settlement it will eliminate the faction. Even if it does not, you're free to take the now-rebel settlement without screwing up your Papal directive.
Edit- Oh, if time is running out, why worry about excommunication? Just take what you need to win and end the game. The only problem I see is if some of your larger cities are hovering on the brink of revolt, and the 20% penalty to public order would push them over the edge.

Re: Spain
Eliminated means eliminated aka dead, cease to exist, utterly expired, and any number of ways described by the Monty Python parrot sketch. I don't think it matters by who though I always do it myself.
By all means ignore the Papal edicts if you are on a tight schedule. Send an assassin to whack him if excomm is worrisome to you.
