Bob, you may not have intended to do so (in fact, you’ll probably be appalled at what I say next), but you pretty much gave authority to relativism. If I think that the Holy Spirit gave me a thought, then that counts, forget the teachings of the Church. I happen to agree to a certain extent with that point of view. After all, the sex abuse scandals that have become the Church’s calling card are the product of people putting too much trust in priests (human beings), and not relying on what the Holy Spirit is telling them.
