“I’ve been around Eastern Christians for about 15 years, and I don’t find the sorts of apparition hunting or obssession with “private revelation” that I see among Latin Catholics.”

What I have difficult time dealing with is those Catholics who go crazy for “social justice” stuff. While it is IMPORTANT to love one’s neighbor as Jesus commands, what troubles me is those Catholics who get into “social justice” stuff that comes very close too or is borderline “politics”.

>>That’s because the social justice folks have become virtual atheists and have forgotten who God is.

I am not trying to start an argument here but could you clarify this for me:“I’ve been around Eastern Christians for about 15 years, and I don’t find the sorts of apparition hunting or obssession with “private revelation” that I see among Latin Catholics.”

I don't really see an "obsession" with private revelation" since most of the Catholics I know hold to the Biblical principle 2 Peter 1:20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation.

Borderline? I think many of them are way over the borderline, way way over. When I was in the seminary one of my fellow students called pervasive progressive liberalism.
