[Dr. Eckleburg]

The Holy Spirit can lead men to Christ through the Declaration of Independence or a trout stream or Maya Angelou or a chiapet or a Slim Jim . . . but never EVER EVER the Magisterium. NEVER!

The Holy Spirit can and does lead men through the magisterium; not to the magisterium.

Eventually, God's sheep are led to the perfect light of Christ through the preaching of His word and the work of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

"With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.

He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools." -- Job 12:16-17

"For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." -- 2 Corinthians 4:6

"Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.

Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow." -- Isaiah 50:10-11

[Petronski]

The Holy Spirit can and does lead men through the magisterium; not to the magisterium.

No Catholic claims they do.

I don't think Petronski said that He did lead men to the magisterium.

Amen. Fits for me.
