His words are here for all to read. No twisting by me, I've given his exact quote. I urge everyone to read the document in full, for a true understanding of his writing, and of his love for us all.

“Therefore, these separated Churches and communities as such, though we believe they suffer from defects, have by no means been deprived of significance and importance in the mystery of salvation. For the spirit of Christ has not refrained from using them as means of salvation which derive their efficacy from the very fullness of grace and truth entrusted to the Catholic Church”.66

Thanks again for affording me the opportunity to spread the truth.

"these separated Churches and communities as such, though we believe they suffer from defects"

Thank you for your excerpt which clearly shows Ratzinger distinguishes between churches and communities. Why? Because a "community" is a group of individuals.

[OLD REGGIE]

"...though we believe they suffer from defects,"

What "defects" do they suffer from?

(they) "...have by no means been deprived of significance and importance in the mystery of salvation."

How significant? What level of importance?

No double talk. Give us the straight talk version.
