And yet the usage of Holy Ghost was changed to Holy Spirit because the word 'Ghost' conjured up pictures of evil spirits.
Personally I find Holy Spirit much more befitting the description of burning tongues of fire that enlivened a group of frightened Apostles, disciples and the Blessed Virgin on Pentecost.
May the Holy Spirit be our guide!

Neither Ghost nor Spirit even comes close in English to "Pneumos," one of the better representations...
