***I have read on FR threads where Catholics believe that only the Magisterium and priesthood are filled with the Holy Spirit...***

Produce an example please.

***And if a person is filled with the Holy Spirit, which is God, which is a ‘real’ filling, 24/7, why the emphasis on getting the ‘real’ presence of Jesus thru the Eucharist if you believe you are already filled with God???***

Show me Scripturally where other than a few individuals such as Mary and Stephen are filled and presumably cannot sin. Are you unable to sin? If so, then you are not filled with the Holy Spirit and therefore your theory is rendered inoperable.

Before I answer you, I want to be clear on this...Are you saying that no sinner, you and I included, can be filled with the Holy Spirit because we commit sin???
