iggyjoan Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Holy Spirit. When I was little all the old ladies at my church said "Holy Ghost" and it scared me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pio Nono Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 JMJ 7/16 - Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Either is an acceptable translation of "spiritus", though "ghost" tends to conjur up images of the Ghost of Christmas Past in modern English. I don't know if "ghost" is a good translation of the Greek "pneuma", but "spirit" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philosophette Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Finger of God's Right Hand.... Holy Spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Era Might Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I heard Fr. Pacwa explain it once. I think "Ghost" comes from the old German word for Spirit, or something along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Church Punk Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 isnt Holy Spirit closer to the Latin than Holy Ghost? To me it sounds closer phenetically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
