Holy spirit Quote by Michael Ramsey
““Perhaps these remarks are most remarkable of all: 'Nor should we forget that whatever is wrought by the grace of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of the separated brethren can contribute to our own edification.' That is to say, Roman Catholics will not tolerate the action of the Spirit in communities other than their own, but they will also expect that whatever the Holy Spirit does will help the edification of Roman Catholics themselves. That is wondrous.””
