All believers are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Catholics don't get to make up their own meanings of words from scripture.

But that certainly won't stop them from trying....

You know, this is where the claim by Catholics that the RCC wrote the Bible falls flat. If they wrote it, they sure failed miserably in writing something that supports current church doctrine.

If they wrote it you'd think they'd have done a better job and used words like *priest* to mean priest, for example, instead of a word that means elder or something other than priest.
