welcome to the boards dmac23.
Since you are new here, you may not realize that elysiantraveller is never wrong, so you must have misinterpreted what was stated.

There are more bombs and more terrorists still in the capital as of this morning, per FOX news.
Since 2012, over 23,000 Christians worldwide have been slaught at their Churches.
That precedes Trump.

So, the descriptive, Christian worshipers, as, in:
“The Pope addressed a large contingent of Christian worshippers”...
Would be confusing to you as well?

Perhaps, but that these worshippers are anything but Christian is never an issue.
Unless one is stirring the pot.

The proper description would be Christians at Easter service or Christians celebrating Easter or something else way more conventional. And not going WAY out of their way to avoid typing the word Christians.
Unless it's your contention that something other than 99.9% of the people in that Church were something other than Christian.

My contention is that your complaint has nothing to do with wording...but with the author/s.

They are still trying to hook up into the democrat conference call about impeaching Trump and if the party has a platform.
