Neither.. the paraclete(Holy Spirit).. is the one who comes alongside(any christian) to help and administer comfort.. for thats what paraclete MEANS.. The Holy Spirit is NOT a moron..
The Holy Spirit received this charge from Jesus who received his charge from the Father.. "Wherever two or even three congregate(in my name) there am I(Father, son, Holy Spirt) in the midst of them"
You either believe this or not.. NO other authority is recogized by the faithful.. Because there IS no other authority.. Many congregations meets in some other name.. a church name usually..
If the Holy Spirit is NOT there then you meet in vain... Who then is in charge of the "meeting" the Holy Spirit -or- some drama play with historical meaning.. and a script, litergy, and even a band(music) sometimes..
Takes faith to believe in the Father, Jesus AND the Holy Spirit.. Jesus left us all in the hands of the Holy Spirit.. We are not orphans.. and need to learn how to be spirits ourselves.. Could be WHY Jesus did that <<- left us in the hands of the Holy Spirit.. Ya Think?..
Yep, I do!!! :^)
The Holy Spirit is leading me to recognize the authority of the Magisterium of the Church. Does that mean that I am not one of the "faithful", or does it mean that you are not rightly following the Spirit?
