Just asking about what the essay puts forth, that the Holy Spirit comes into believers, but the Catholic Church teaches that Catholic believers must put Him back in by following the sacraments and that when they sin they must re-up the Holy Spirit by confession and the Eucharist. Doers that mean that the Holy Spirit comes and goes many times in the life of a Catholic?

No. It’s just that some people are too concerned with the modern world that they do not notice the Holy Spirit working in their lives.

This is not at all what the Catholic Church teaches. When we sin, the Holy Spirit remains with us, and it is through the action of the Holy Spirit that we come to have contrition for our sins and ask God’s forgiveness. As Paul tells us in Romans 8:26, the Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness.
