Are you like a priest or something because you are either brainwashed or do not hear from the Holy Ghost like you think you do.

I have DAILY access to priests...at Mass, after Mass, e-mails for questions, letters.
I have had a lot of questions in my life and they, the many priests, were there to answer my questions.

I am brainwashed in the Lord!

We don't say the Holy GHOST any more. That went away about 60 years ago, early 60's. We say the Holy Spirit.

Answered by Legionary of Christ Father Edward McNamara, professor of liturgy at the Regina Apostolorum university.

https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/holy-ghost-and-holy-spirit-4627Q:
Before the Second Vatican Council, 1962-65, the Third Person of the Trinity was referred to in English as the Holy Ghost. The Sign of the Cross was made in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. When priests delivered sermons they made the Sign of the Cross with these words at the beginning and end of their sermons.
In current practice, the words Holy Spirit seem to have taken precedence, except in churches where the extraordinary rite of the Mass is exclusively celebrated. When the Holy Father (Pope Benedict) celebrates Mass in his native tongue (German), he uses the word Geist (ghost). Heiliger Geist

The ENGLISH translations are now holy SPIRIT...NOT "ghost."
Spirit and ghost are the same word in GERMAN, but not in Englsih.
