It's just a guess, but I'd say that the expression (from the movie "Hospital") represents nothing but complete insanity: "Paraclete", from Greek "parakletos" derives from the New Textament (John xiv, 16, 26; xv, 26; xvi, 7), where it stands for the Holy Spirit. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11469a.htm "Caborca" is a town in Mexico. http://www.sismo.com.mx/mc/loc.htm There is, of course, no "Holy Spirit of Caborca". So the whole expression is meant to express madness. But as I said, it's only a guess. Scriptor |
