“So whose interpretaton of the prophecies are we to accept?
What is this now?
No YOPIOS but YOPIOP?
How do you know that you’re interpreting it correctly? The Catholic church teaches against one’s own personal interpretation of Scripture. How then, can one’s own personal interpretation of prophecy be acceptable?”

Thanks metmom, the answer is the Church, God gave the Church the gift to interpret Scripture. Look to her interpretation, her teaching on meaning of Scripture. Private Interpretation of Scripture, PIOS is wrong, look
at it’s fruit.
You can start with a Catholic Bible, read the footnotes
on difficult verses, then you’ll better understand why
the Church teaches what she does.
Your second question, prophecy (private revelation) helps one better understand God’s plan, it doesn’t change it. It’s whether you choose to believe private revelation or not, I wish you would. When a message goes against Church teaching, there’s your way to know. It doesn’t happen very often. God isn’t silent, He knows what He wants to say.
Pride makes people dismiss the prophetic, they shouldn’t.
The same has happened with approved messages, one example, the messages of Divine Mercy. Thank Pope John Paul II for bringing them up for examination again.
God bless you,
Spiritual discernment makes people dismiss the false prophets..

Apples and oranges. This is not an approved message so the comparison is not valid.
And neither is the message.
