About this title

Synopsis

Mother Teresa of Calcutta (canonized saint and Nobel Prize winner) carried with her in her travels a mystical writer's world-renowned work, a work treasured by dozens of other famous people and scholars, numerous saints, and tens of thousands of ordinary people like you and I: a truly life-changing hidden gem you can't afford to miss out on.

Considered by noteworthy scholars, experts, and renowned theologians to be one of the greatest and most prolific mystics of all time, Maria Valtorta's reported visions of the Gospel are further substantiated by the testimonies of three saints. The groundbreaking analysis by Fr. Anthony Pillari, J.C.L., and Stephen Austin makes accessible to all this hidden treasure, the testimonies of these saints, and addresses the most common objection to Valtorta's work: the first edition of her work was once placed on the Catholic Church's Index of Forbidden Books (prior to it being later permitted). Many read and hear conflicting information and are still confused about the canonical status of Valtorta's work, asking themselves if it is to be considered condemned or not. Fr. Pillari and Stephen's book gives the history of the Index of Forbidden Books, explains the current juridic and moral status of the Index of Forbidden Books after its abrogation by Pope Paul VI in 1966, and includes a case study analyzing and explaining the canonical status of the major work of Maria Valtorta. This book also details the admiration that three canonized/beatified persons have publicly expressed concerning Valtorta’s work and the fact that their beatification invites Catholics to respect and share their opinion concerning Valtorta’s work.
