I heard a fascinating shiur in 2010 by Rav Koren in the presence of RZNG ztl and two sons of Rav Chaim Schmulevitz, one of whom was since niftar. He had in his posession newly discovered letters from RIZM ztl to the CI ztl. In any case, he said that his and RZPF ztl's shittah was that a Jewish community is koveah, not the gentile community. I wrote an article on this topic on the Lehrhaus which supports the view of RZPF. the language of the gemara on RH 20b, strongly implies the molad was the "calculated average" molad which is a major issue with the opinion of the CI.
