Apparently the promise of receiving the Holy Spirit does not apply to individual Catholics.

Apparently, annalex is speaking of the Spirit given to the successors of the Apostles to determine proper doctrine when members of the Church disagree. The Spirit IS given to each of us individually, but the Spirit does not give us the power to infallibly interpret the Scriptures. I believe this is what annalex is referring to. The proof of this is in the many diametrically opposed doctrines within well-meaning Protestants "guided" by the "same" Spirit.

Regards

Jo, you are correct, but you are responding to P-Marlowe, who misrepresented what I said. Also please review my recent posts on the subject of the gifts of the Holy Ghost, how they are given, by whom and to whom, -- whether or not these posts are addressed to you, and correct me when necessary.
