-all the more reason that the local bishop make the decision, since presumably he would be more informed on the state of the souls in his churches. I doubt the veracity of that, but I understand their reasoning.
The Holy Trinity? Father, Son and Holy Spirit? The ONE true God?
I trust the Holy Spirit, but you are right....there are MANY spirits that are evil. A pro-abortion, career politician may have never known the Holy Spirit as evidenced through his actions.

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!

I doubt the veracity of that, but I understand their reasoning. True, but isn't this an advisory document? What would be the harm in making a strong general recommendation?
