In certain Christian circles, both Catholic and Protestant, it is typical to hear many say "the Lord has told me this" or "the Lord has told me that." Not to mention those who have the word "spirit" on their lips at all hours to justify any past, present or future heterodoxy. In them, the Spirit becomes, therefore, the perfect wild card to which to assign a concrete and most often WhatsApp Number revolutionary ecclesial vision. At this point in the blog it is not necessary for me to explain my affinity with the Catholic doctrine on the assistance of the Holy Spirit to the Church. But sometimes I can't stop wondering if the sin of taking God's name in vain does not also occur among those who should most allow themselves to be guided by Him: our pastors.
For example, these days we have seen both people talk about the much good that the Holy Spirit has done, or is going to do, through a famous and controversial Latin American episcopal assembly. I do not deny that the Santa Paloma fluttered between previous meetings, talks, more meetings, more talks, documents, review of documents, more meetings, more debates on the documents, partial conclusions and conclusive document, of which it is not known if it was conclusive. or they "concluded" it sooner or later. Well no, I insist that it is not impossible to believe that the Holy Spirit was in the middle of all that. But it does not seem heretical to me to suggest that they did not pay much attention to him, and that the spectacle we are witnessing these days is a sign of the little prominence they gave to the Only One who can truly turn a probably unnecessary assembly into a useful assembly. for the Church on that continent.
