[Cronos]

Again. I have asked a simple question, and you have leapt to a negative and very defensive response

Nope, NYer was talking about the Pope and you then compare the Pope and the Holy SPirit? Huh? Apples and oranges -- that was one of the silliest comparisons I've ever read.

"NYer was talking about the Pope and you then compare the Pope and the Holy SPirit?....that was one of the silliest comparisons I've ever read."

Really? Did you read NYers post? I did quote it accurately. Here it is again...

"The Catholic Church has a pope because our Lord did not want to leave His followers orphans."

But Christ addresses that point very clearly in John 14:16 when he explains the role of the Holy Spirit. He even says "I will not leave you as orphans." So is it really so strange that I would make that comparison?
