| | | Need Help With Latin Phrase
I have come across this Latin phrase that need help with. Corpus Christianum
Rather than try to guess at its approximate meaning could someone tell me what would be an accurate English rendering?

Lit., "The Christian body," (or body of Christians). It is a term frequently used to refer to the Christian world, or Christendom.

Yes. Christianum is an adjective, modifying the neuter noun corpus (body)
