Of course he referred to a community of believers, of which I am a member in that community. Therefore, did the pope refer to me?

No.

Dr.E: Of course he (Ratzinger) referred to a community of believers, of which I am a member in that community. Therefore, did the pope refer to me?

PETRONSKI: No.

LOLOL. Thanks for proving my point so well. Anything, even nonsense, in order not to agree with a Protestant.

As a life-long member of the Presbyterian church, am I a member of a "Protestant church?" Am I a member of a "community of believers" that does not follow Rome?

If so, would that not make me a target of Ratzinger's pronouncement, along with all other Protestants?

Or was Ratzinger criticizing the brick and mortar of the buildings we worship in, and not the believers inside those buildings?
