I have a priest who ALWAYS says, “She” when referring to the Holy Ghost - Novus Ordo, English speaking version of the Mass - [his reason for this is, in the Greek language, “pneuma” is supposedly gender-neutral]...

I would ask your priest how Our Lord Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary and why did Christ always refer to the Paraclete as a male.

I have said almost those exact same words to him, to no avail.

I meant what I said, I still consider him as a good man, and a holy priest. I pray a special prayer for him each morning...
