Yes the Christian catholic church was founded by Jesus. but the Roman Catholic church was not. that was founded by a Roman Emperor.The Christian (Catholic) Church was founded by Jesus. The first leaders were the apostles. Then, people started their own Christian denominations, and each differs from the Church Jesus founded. That's why you have so many different interpretations of Scripture now. Heck, a group of Jehovah's Witnesses straight up edited Scripture to their liking! You read certain scriptural verses and interpret them to mean that Joseph and Mary had intercourse and other children, but others say different. Both can't be right. So, how did you rule out the possibility that your interpretation of those verses aren't correct?
Additionally, we agree that Maria Valtorta's writings have a supernatural origin, but you think that they're of Satan because of what Maria was shown and told about the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is about Her life on earth, why She should be honored, and the ways in which She draws people to Her Son, and thus closer to God, which is the exact opposite effect of what Satan wants. Wouldn't it be more befitting of Satan to either downplay or deny Who the Blessed Virgin Mary is, what She's done and does, and the degree of influence that She's had and has, and so on, and get people to believe that, in order to lead them away from God? Yes or no?
And No Satan would love to deceive vulnerable believers into exalting Mary above her station. The Mopther/Son cult was found in many ancinet pagan religions and merely carried over into Christendom when Pagan influence started seeping into the church.
