This call to the "spirit" is chilling. I have come to using the "Holy Ghost" when addressing the third person of the Trinity because I don't think the evil spirit is as likely to enter.

Over and over again,I have observed that the priests who exult over the "spirit" of Vatican II,never call it the Holy Spirit and I have come to believe that the reason they don't call it that is because they are not calling on the Holy Spirit at all,in fact far from it.

Christos Voskrese!

Feel lucky if you're not hearing them refer to the 3rd Person of the Blessed Trinity as "Holy Sophia".

And yet the usage of Holy Ghost was changed to Holy Spirit because the word 'Ghost' conjured up pictures of evil spirits.

Personally I find Holy Spirit much more befitting the description of burning tongues of fire that enlivened a group of frightened Apostles, disciples and the Blessed Virgin on Pentecost.

May the Holy Spirit be our guide!
