On the kerfuffle over the Pope's recent comments that seem directed at Donald Trump:
Christian is both an adjective and a noun. As an adjective, its antonym is un-Christian. As a noun, its antonym is non-Christian. Trump seems to have misunderstood that simple grammar lesson. The Holy Father, however, understands that since it's both an adjective and a noun, it can be used in a variety of ways.
The sad thing is that many Christians (among whom I'd sometimes count myself) are un-Christian. It's not a direct attack on their intellectual commitments to the Christian faith, but on their actions.
