Scott Hahn has never made any full-fledged statements saying the Holy Spirit is a woman. Someone here on this thread is twisting Scott Hahn's words into something he has never altogether claimed.

Scott Hahn has made this point about the Holy Spirit: Christ told his apostles he would not leave them orphaned and would send the paraclete. So Scott Hahn has taken the word "orphan" Jesus spoke to make his point. An orphan, of course, is a child who has lost both parents through death. The desciples would thereby be losing Jesus (masculine) through his death, but yet they were promised by Jesus himself not to be left as orphans. This promise by Jesus could perhaps mean the Holy Sprit-The Helper-The Parclete is indeed of a female nature. Scott Hahn concedes ONLY the possibility of the Holy Spirit being of a female nature, he doesn't lay hold to that claim.

Absolutely right. Scott's teaching is consonant with Traditional, speculative dogma regarding the relationships between the Persons of the Trinity. See my post above.
