As a Pope Francis supporter myself, (public) revelation did conclude about two thousand years ago. That's the teaching of the Church. There can be a development of doctrine, but no new revelation. I also don't agree that everyone should be permitted to receive the Eucharist in every case. And while I don't have any more access to the mind of Pope Francis than you, I don't think that the elevation of Bishop McElroy is a response to the US bishops' debate on who should be permitted to receive the Eucharist.
Joseph…” that is the teaching of The Church”. Of course. Why do you believe that teaching to be true and immutable? Why was the Holy Spirit created? Do you believe He is the third person of the Godhead? Are their guardrails on where he can go and say.? What is His purpose? You are a supporter of Pope Francis. Do you agree with his decision to elevate McElroy. . Is he sending a message or throwing darts? If His action was purposeful , what might that purpose have been?
The Holy Spirit is not created, He proceeds from the Father. I believe that the teaching on revelation is immutable because the councils, which have the guidance of the Holy Spirit, have declared it. I don't have a problem with Bishop McElroy becoming a cardinal, and I don't think choosing him was a rebuke to the US bishops in general; more likely a matter of Pope Francis thinking that he is worthy of the honour, and capable of performing the duties.
"Yet even if Revelation is already complete, it has not been made completely explicit; it remains for Christian faith gradually to grasp its full significance over the course of the centuries." (Catechism #66)
