[Harley:] Can you point FK and myself to some concise doctrinal writing that clearly defines the purpose of Holy Spirit from the Catholic perspective?No. The Holy Spirit, being God, has no purpose.
Jesus is God. Does Catholicism also say that Jesus had no purpose?

I'm not denying that the Persons of the Trinity have unique roles in creation and redemption. But only created things have "purpose". God is His own end; He is not "made for something".

No. The Holy Spirit, being God, has no purpose. I thought His purpose was to lead us to all truth. My mistake. ;O)
