Unlikely to be a diocesan priest, as I've never heard any diocesan priest starting sermons with 'In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy GHOST', unless someone can show me something to the contrary. Usually the modern priests will use 'Holy SPIRIT'.
That's a good point. I missed that. It's been so long since I've heard a priest
use "Holy Spirit" that I had forgotten about it.
There is a theological nuance involved in this. And it got past nearly everyone
at first, when the trend grew in the 50's leading up to, and the 60's during the
Council and immediately after. The nuance is, that 'spirit' is ambiguous, and it
can mean not only the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, but equally a feeling
or an attitude, such as 'spirit of pride' or 'spirit of compromise,' or even "The
Spirit of St. Loius" -- which, by the way, was an
airplane. <-- website for model!
Spirit is preferred when speaking of the 'soul of a brute animal' or of a plant, as
the principle of life in a material living organism, distinguished from an eternal
soul, that is, of man.
Our biggest problem today is that the word 'spirit' was co-opted by the
Modernists at Vat.II to mean 'the spirit of Vatican II' which gave them carte
blanche to spread the errors of the Council with wild abandon. It became, as
it were, the 'spirit of the age'.
We could pull out of that dead-end road and get back to normal if we would
only recognize that they left out one word: the
unclean spirit of Vatican II.
FWIW I just realized that Lindburgh could not see out the front of the plane
because there was no front windshield -- it was covered by fuel tanks
inside the plane, 450 gallon capacity:
