A lot of people claim the Holy Spirit is their guide. Heck, every Protestant here on FR makes that claim. Sola Scriptura meets sola ego and every FR Protestant is their own Pope.

A lot of people claim the Holy Spirit Pope is their guide. Heck, every Protestant Roman Catholic here on FR makes that claim. Sola Scriptura Sola Ecclesiastica meets sola ego blind allegiance to rote and tradition and every FR Protestant Roman Catholic is searching working for their own Pope salvation.

There, fixed it for you...

Ephesians 1; ... 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. ...

No you didn’t fix it. The Pope is not the guide, the Pope only defends what has been defined by his predecessors. In fact, the more and more you go into time, the less a future Pope matters. No Pope can undue the Council of Nicea, Constantinopile, Ephesus or Chalcedon and the Doctrinal definitions about the Trinity and Jesus Christ. The Pope’s role is to defend Doctrine and ensure that it is passed on what he received. Vatican 2 did not define anything, it only further developed earlier teachings, for example, Dei Verbum was a Document on Sacred Scripture, nothing new, but a more fuller presentation of Scripture in the life of the Church. Lumen Gentium defined more fully the Church, and in particular the Church of Rome having premminent authority. In that sense it more fully defined Vatican 1 which, while defining what Papal Infallibility is, also talked that the Infallibility of the Bishop of Rome is linked to the fact that the Church of Rome has preeminent authority [Vatican 1 quotes saint Irenaeus here] but Lumen Gentium more fully developed the link between the Pope and the Church of Rome and how Primacy is rooted in the authority of the Church of Rome and its connection to both Peter and Paul..

As for throwing Scripture quotes, what does that prove, you can type. They do not mean what you say they mean.
