Jo, you are correct, but you are responding to P-Marlowe, who misrepresented what I said.

I did not misrepresent what you said. I quoted you exactly. You were the one who apparently misrepresented what you said. You were the one who had to issue the retraction. I merely commented on your statement, such as it was. Don't blame me whan you type something stupid.

To: P-Marlowe
I quoted you exactly

You did quote my "The usual Protestant interpretation says that the Holy Ghost is given all Christians directly. This is without warrant. We have the Holy Ghost inasmuch as the Church of the Apostles informed us", but you took it to mean that "promise of receiving the Holy Spirit does not apply to individual Catholics", and it does not follow. Perhaps I said it insufficiently clearly, since others misunderstood me as well, but I have nothing to retract. There is no scriptural evidence of the Holy Ghost received by individual Christians other than the Apostles and perhaps some other friends of Jesus directly. All who receive the Holy Ghost today receive it not directly but through the Church.
