Strawman. Data Clarifier knows well that both the Priests and the Laity receive the Holy Spirit. The Laity at Baptism and Confirmation, and the Priests also in those as well as in Ordination. But Priests have a special charism that enables them to teach. Recall that St. James says not many should become teachers, because those who teach will be more strictly judged. Those who are given the grace to teach receive a special divine assistance from the Holy Spirit. This applies especially to the Successors of St. Peter, whom God made the Rock of His Church on Earth, and gave the Keys of Heaven, to bind and loose on Earth. How do you understand that passage? How can God promise to bind it in Heaven if it wasn't guided by Him i.e. by His Spirit?
