I am not going to speculate on Satan's motives and schemes.

You probably should if you're going to be a Christian. He's just as real as God is and he's constantly at work trying to lead people away from God. That's his motive and he'll use anything and anyone he can to do so.

So, think about what you read about the Blessed Virgin Mary in Maria's writings. Why would Satan speak about Her in such a way, when he hated Her Son to the point of killing Him, and so how much more would Satan hate His Mother for bringing Him into the world to redeem mankind and defeat him?

And, Satan wants to lead people away from God, and the Blessed Virgin Mary wants to help lead people to God, and thus, wouldn't it be more befitting of Satan to either downplay or deny Who She 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? Because for Satan to speak of the Blessed Virgin Mary in ways that honor Her and draws people to Her Son, and thus closer to God, is the exact opposite effect of what he wants. Do you agree?

And, we agree that Maria Valtorta's writings have a supernatural origin, but you think it's Satan's work not God's, and that he's saying lies about the Blessed Virgin Mary. I take it that you've ruled out the possibility that people's interpretation of certain scriptural verses are wrong, and that what Maria Valtorta was told and shown is actually the Truth? How did you come to that rule out?

I am well aware of HIs schemes, being a former Satanist. But I focus on what God calls me to do, it leaves no time to try to figure out what the devil is up to.

By Peter, whom you say was the first Pope, we are forbidden from interpreting Scripture, but to accept and obey it. No church has the right to "interpret" Scripture.

There's nothing to figure out. You already know that Satan is constantly at work trying to use anything and anyone he can to lead people away from God. Now, we agree that Maria Valtorta's writings have a supernatural origin, but you think that they're of Satan. In that case, think about how Satan wants to lead people away from God, and the Blessed Virgin Mary wants to help lead people to God, and now think about what you you read about the Blessed Virgin Mary in Maria's writings. Then, ask yourself these questions:

Satan speaking of the Blessed Virgin Mary in ways that honor Her and draws people to Her Son, and thus closer to God, is the exact opposite effect of what satan wants. Yes or no?

Wouldn't it be more befitting of Satan to either downplay or deny Who She 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?

There was the Christian (Catholic) Church founded by Jesus. 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! For example, 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 can they? Nope. So, how did you rule out the possibility that your interpretation of those verses aren't correct?
