Oh I think the Holy Spirit is doing a great job working through posters on this and other threads to point out the extra-Biblical errors deeply embedded in some of the "sacraments"
It;s not the Holy Spirit because The Holy Spirit would NOT overturn 2000 plus years of Sacramental teachings in favor of 500 years of inconsistency from the time of the Reformation by those who lack unity with each other on Sacramental teaching
Restricting the Holy Spirit in any area is counterproductive to understanding the Truth. And the Way and the Life.
That's very silly!
We know the Holy Spirit has spoken final on things like The Divinity of Christ, so we know when someone denies the Divinity Of Christ it's not from The Holy Spirit.
I don't think you seem to understand the amount of heretical teachings that can be applied when you say there is no restrictions on The Holy Spirit. There can ONLY be ONE TRUTH,dear sister
The extra-Biblical Gospel of Catholic Tradition which is just dogma of your denomination is not God breathed.
Restricting the Holy Spirit in any area is counterproductive to understanding the Truth. And the Way and the Life.Unless that was posted from ignorance, it is close to blasphemousThat's very silly!
Show me any scripture that says man can decide if the Holy Spirit can NOT do as It pleases.

Any Christian knows that.
It has NOT spoken in agreement with ALL of your church Fathers pronouncements over the years. Including the dogma concerning communion.
I don't think you seem to understand the amount of heretical teachings that can be applied when you say there is no restrictions on The Holy Spirit.
Now if anything is silly, that is!
I don't think you need to worry about anyone elses heretical teachings, perhaps you should search your own heart.?
Do you not see that God did not appoint you or the Catholic church as the final word concerning the Holy Spirt's function and ministry?
To quote your post: There can ONLY be ONE TRUTH. Embrace the Truth. And the Way. And the Life. (That's Jesus)
Oh BTW, noted the condescendent attitude of your reply.
Might makes right, eh?
It's irrelevant if some teaching has been around for 2,000,000 years. If it contradicts Scripture, it's wrong. Period. No if's, and's, or but's.
If it's not found in Scripture, it cannot be presumed to be truth or from God no matter how old it is and who believes it. Truth is not based on consensus, nor is it a popularity contest.

Restrictions on the Holy Spirit?!?! For real???
That takes some real guts.
1 Thessalonians 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit.
There can ONLY be ONE TRUTH,dear sister
And it's found in God's word, not in tradition.
John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
2 Corinthians 4:2 But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God.
Ephesians 1:13-14 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
Society by and large accepts the idea that truth is relative truth and there is no single standard of morality.
Tens of thousands of groups who claim to be Christian resist by preaching that there is one absolute truth, the truth that once you say the magic words whatever you decide is the truth is the truth for you and whether you live a moral life or not doesn't matter.
