Eastern Orthodox theology
Roman Catholic theology
The Roman Catholic Church believes Jesus Christ is the "fullness and mediator of all Revelations",[1] and that no new divine revelation will come until the Second Coming.[2] It also believes that God gradually leads the church into a deeper understanding of divine revelation, such as by private revelations,[2] which do not fulfill, complete, substitute or supersede divine revelation but help one live by divine revelation.[3] The church does not obligate the faithful to believe in, follow, or publish private revelations, whether they're approved or otherwise.[3]
