When did Pope Benedict call another Christian "defective?" Not their church or community, but them as persons? lol. Back-tracking again?
Your question was as follows:
When did Benedict identify, specifically or generally, any Christian as "defective?"
Now let's all spend six hours arguing whether by "generally" you meant as a member of a church or not.
As if that even matters.
Better yet, you play my part and do it for 12 hours. I trust you.

Now let's all spend six hours arguing whether by "generally" you meant as a member of a church or not.Generally, as not by name, but as part of a group of people. He never called any group of people defective Christians. He referred to defective institutions: "communities" and "churches."
The only backtracking here is yours.
Benedict never referred to ANYONE as a defective Christian. Or can you provide a quote to the contrary?

Remember this:
There is no Catholic teaching, and statements from a few "Non-Catholic" haters, which is so clear it cannot be denied, modified, or reinterpreted as required.
