The Church teaches that private revelation happens all the time; sometimes the individuals even interpret the revelations correctly, giving rise to all sorts of new vocations and devotions.

But the Church doesn’t just automatically stamp its approval on anything someone dreams up at the Knights of Columbus and feels “inspired” to share with everyone else.

I am not aware that “private revelation” is the same thing as the indwelling Holy Spirit.
