Sean, one thing you have to remember is that this is one of the big differences between sedes and R&R'ers going back at least 25 years. Leading sedes in general have always given more weight to traditional theologians than to private revelation in their explanation of what happened over the past 50 years.
Whereas the R&R have always tended towards a less theological explanation, while giving much more weight to private revelations and and alleged cօռspιʀαcιҽs.
