"Do you have a link to a direct quote from him? I'd like to read it in context."

I think that's a fair question. I've looked through a number of websites. There were some that offer quotes of the "family of the Trinity" to promote some of his books. While I was curious as to what "family" meant, to me that description is a little vague to whether he actually believe the Holy Spirit is feminine in nature. All I can go by is what the traditional Catholics are saying about him on the website I provided above. Someone is not correct. You Catholics need to slug this out.

While searching for this I did find an interest part of his history which is not explained in his testimony. I'm not trying to bash a Catholic, just trying to give full picture of this gentleman. This statement squares with his testimony that while he was a minister he also held another job. References are provided at the website.

Mike Gendron, the founder of the Proclaiming the Gospel, a ministry of former Catholics, investigated Hahn's touted position with the Presbyterian Church. He reported that: "The Presbyterian Church of America (PCA) had no record of his ordination or any record of Trinity Presbyterian Church, the church where he had been a pastor. Mr. Hahn acknowledged these facts but offered an explanation. Trinity Presbyterian was an independent church with an average attendance of 30 when two of its elders laid hands on him in a private ceremony in 1982. He served as their Associate Pastor for about two years. The church remained independent until its closing in 1986. Mr. Hahn told me the reason for his private ceremony was because he did not feel he was very qualified to serve as an elder at age 26, but needed the ordination to take the pastor's exemption from Social Security."

Do I detect a bit of resume embelishment?
