Catechism says,
“The Roman Pontiff and the bishops are ‘authentic teachers, that is, teachers endowed with the authority of Christ, who preach the faith to the people entrusted to them, the faith to be believed and put into practice.’ The ordinary and universal Magisterium of the Pope and the bishops in communion with him teach the faithful the truth to believe, the charity to practice, the beatitude to hope for.” Catechism #2034
The Bible Says,
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

H. S.,
This phrase (the first one) is an absurd affirmation which goes against all free and independent thinking and reasoning.
It makes me shiver.
Talk about "brain wash"...
I would like to add to your verse, the following:
"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. " 2nd. Corinthians 6:17.
Love...in Christ.

Vicar means representative.
The Puritans and Anglicans put many belonging to the Society of Friends to death for thinking they could rely entirely on the Holy Spirit as a teacher. They made fun of them. Called them names like Quaker and Shaker.

And what does your point have to do with your question? Vicar comes from the Latin vicarius meaning a substitute or acting for.

No it does not.
The term "vicar" means "a substitute; esp. an under-servant [who substitutes]."
"After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come. And he said to them . . . `He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me'" (Luke 10:1-2, 16).
"So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God" (2 Corinthians 5:20).
"[A]nd though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus" (Gal. 4:14).
"[Ananias] sold a piece of property, and . . . kept back some of the proceeds, and brought only a part and laid it at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, `Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the proceeds of the land? . . . You have not lied to men but to God.' When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and died. And great fear came upon all who heard of it" (Acts 5:1-5).

I think that different people have different carracters. One vicar cand be good another bad. The generalisation is a problem of our world.

That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?
Why not look up "vicar" and see what it means.
Try dictionary.com or Merriam-Webster on line.

Remember: Christianity is incarnational in nature. It's also "both/and," not "either/or."
