Quite a big biggie. LET THEM BE ANATHEMA is pretty much a biggie.
I am not arguing about the "size" of the matter being anathematized. I am saying that you are wrong about what the issue actually is. Do you honestly think the original Latin has the parenthetical portions that we see in the English you have provided?
Latin is the key, its a dead language.
It didn't "die" all that long ago, really -- nor did English begin to take shape very long ago. Latin's demise and the consequent rise of the Romance languages was more or less contemporary with the rise and development of English -- all of which happened many centuries after the foundation of Holy Mother Church.
Aramaic and then Latin was used far more and longer than Greek.
That is not the issue, John. Monumentally ignorant statements like this are:
And for 1950 years, HOLY GHOST was how we were Baptized.
People could not be baptized using 'Holy Ghost' until English came into existence and usage -- which did not occur until well into the life of the Church. Even after English came into existence, the rite of baptism was performed (and is still performed) in Latin, not English.
FWIW, Fr. J. Donovan's 1829 English translation of
The Roman Catechism, also known as
The Catechism of the Council of Trent -- a translation that is held in the highest esteem and enjoys ecclesiastical approbation -- uses the term "Holy Spirit" for the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity at least four times within the space of little more than one page. He also uses "Holy Ghost," but the point, for our modest purposes, is that he, whose learning far surpasses our own, uses the terms interchangeably.
I admit Im wrong only when proven so.
You have been -- thoroughly and repeatedly. I must go prepare some supper and check on a load of laundry in the dryer. Ciao (c:
