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?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Are “communities” made up of individuals?
