Sorry I didn't respond earlier. I didnt have access to the internet :)

"Religion becomes identified in the popular mind with a series of moods, in which the worshipper, disposed therefore by all the arts of the revivalist, relished the flavors of spiritual peace. You needed neither a theology or a liturgy; you did not take the strain of intellectual inquiry, nor associate yourself whole-heartedly with any historic traditon of worship. You floated, safely enough, on the little raft of your own faith, eagerly throwing out lifelines to drowning neighbots as were able to catch it; meanwile the ship was foundering."

Could you clarify how my posts reflect this? It seems from reading various posts that the Catholic Church ignores the Holy Spirit, who only seems to be mentioned when talking about the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is not present in forming the Bible. The Holy Spirit does not interpret Scripture. The Holy Spirit needs help in maintaining THE church. The Holy Spirit needs help in guiding the sheep. Or so the Catholic Church would have you believe. It seems the Catholics are more dependent on man than on God.
