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.
What I have difficult time dealing with is those Catholics who go crazy for social justice stuff. While it is IMPORTANT to love ones 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.
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.
As both a Catholic and and a Christian, I accept what 2 Peter 1:20 teaches, but also it is a call to “decern” prophecy as well.
What I have meant is to maintain a proper “balance” in regards to fatih.
