Newsletter N. 2/25 – More determined then ever for the New Evangelization

Let us begin again with an explanation that also comes from the final invitation of the Gospel: «And again I say to you: Take, take this work and “do not seal it”, but read it and have it read “because the time is near” (Rev 22:10) “and whoever is holy must become even holier” (Rev 22:11)».

We are happy to finally be able to resume these communications of communion with all those interested in Maria Valtorta!

There have been many events in these months, and some sensational; not least and completely unexpected is the press release from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith on the texts of Maria Valtorta (Click here to read it from the Holy See website – in italian).
We thought it best to respond with amazement and courtesy (Click here to read the note by Foundation Maria Valtorta – in italian).

But then – and in concrete terms – what should we do? It is obvious: continue! Contrary to what some have naively written, there is nothing definitive about these things: it is not an infallible dogmatic definition and therefore unchangeable, but only a doctrinal and moral clarification on the supernatural value of the object (the Work of Maria Valtorta). For this reason it is changeable at any time, as happened with the condemnation (in 1887, with the Post obitum decree) and then the full acceptance (Note of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, presided over by Card. Joseph Ratzinger, on 30 June 2001) of the person and works of Blessed Antonio Rosmini Serbati (1797-1855). Let it be clear, however, that the condition for the Valtortian Work to follow a similar path is a new evaluation of it.

And here lies the real problem. That is, obvious questions arise: why have those in charge not read and studied – perhaps through a specially constituted commission – the thousands of scientific data discovered in Valtorta’s writings and scientifically precise to the comma, which show the obvious presence of a hand that is not only human? Why do all critics remain in a voluntary ignorance that does wrong to their culture and their intelligence? It is impossible not to be amazed and disappointed!

In any case, we continue to study and deepen our knowledge of this extraordinary Work and the life of its author, also supporting and encouraging anyone who does so with truth and charity, always trusting in Jesus the Savior and in the Most Holy Mary, knowing full well that the devil makes the pots, but not the lids.
