The statement that "The Holy Spirit is Doing a New Thing" can be used as a cover for absolutely any pernicious nonsense that the speaker wants to promote.
The Episcopal Church was taken over by pagans, New Agers, homosexualists, and political panderers using precisely that argument.
And that's why I don't want to see it happen in the Catholic Church . . . cause I just escaped the shipwreck of the Episcopalians!

It wasn't THE Holy Spirit that lead the Episcopalians down the path of destruction. While factions of the Catholic Church have indeed been sinful and evil......the whole church has escaped that fate. It IS the job of the bishops and priests to rein in for God all sinners....including lifelong pro-abortion politicians. BUT allowing them to deceive the faithful and lead them to sin would be wrong. Tis a fine line they must walk. Personally, I think they should be denied Communion. But that’s me and truthfully.....I am a struggling sinner who probably shouldn’t be making those types of decisions. LOL

AND.......God is God - He doesn’t change. The TRUTH is the truth....IT doesn’t change. It’s the world that changes...for good and bad.
