when I say "Holy Spirit" I become immediately suspect of Modernism.
As well they should! How else are we to quickly size up when we're dealing with a "new" Trad, who might need some help, etc., a Novus Ordo Catholic who probably needs a LOT of help and holds a lot of errors/baggage from their years in material heresy, and a life-long Trad who we can trust more quickly? These clues are usually quite reliable indicators.
That is why I don't call myself a "Christian". People will RIGHTLY assume I'm some sort of Protestant. I can shout "Hey, don't jump to conclusions! Get to know me and you'll know!" or "ACKTCHUWALLY Christian can mean Catholic" all I want -- I'd be sending out the wrong signal, an actual CONTRARY signal to the signal I should be sending.
Don't kick against the goad, I say. Conquered ground is conquered ground -- give it up already. Reality is reality. Don't be like Denethor in the Return of the King *movie* where he sends a bunch of soldiers to certain death to retake Os Giliath. Give it up, regroup, and live to fight another day.
If you want to tell your co-workers about your "intercourse" with the mailman, or wear rainbow stuff because you like bright colors -- be my guest. Meanwhile I'll refrain from ignoring reality, modern connotations held by words -- and conquered ground.
