Lists of Bishops, Doctors of Theology/Divinity/Canon Law, Saints/Blesseds/Venerables/Servants of God, University Professors, and Noteworthy Lay Faithful Who Have Approved and Endorsed Valtorta's Work The information below has been taken from A Summa and Encyclopedia to Maria Valtorta’s Extraordinary Work by Stephen Austin. To download this free e-book, click here. In this document, I present to you lists of various groups of clerics, saints, and noteworthy lay faithful who have approved, endorsed, or praised The Gospel as Revealed to Me / The Poem of the Man-God, and I organize them according to different criteria. As a result of the findings of my research, I can provide you with the following facts: At Least 28 Bishops Have Approved, Endorsed, or Praised the Poem (Bishops Representing 11 Different Countries) Those who have approved/endorsed/praised the Poem of the Man-God include: 24 Extremely Learned Clerics or Pope Pius XII Doctors of Theology/Divinity/Canon Law 7 Members or Consultants of the Holy 4 Cardinals Office/Congregation for the Causes of Saints 14 Archbishops 7 Saints/Blesseds/Venerables/Servants of God 10 Regular Bishops 28 University Professors In addition to the bishops and theologians listed above, two famous television show hosts/media personalities have publicly endorsed Maria Valtorta's work. The following lists are by no means comprehensive and do not include everyone who could possibly be added to these lists. I include only those clerics and lay faithful that I could personally find so far in publications printed in the English language and a few publications in Italian. By no means can these lists be considered all-encompassing and comprehensive. I am certain that there are other bishops and noteworthy clerics and lay faithful who approve Valtorta's work but whose declaration, statement, etc. I have not had the time to research and include, or who have not publicly shared their approval. You can find many more of these clerics and lay faithful especially by looking at Italian publications, such as the 89 (and counting) Bollettino Valtortiano bulletins published by the editor, Dr. Emilio Pisani, as well as many other publications, books, theses, studies, magazines, and newspapers in other languages that discuss Maria Valtorta and her writings (in particular, those in Italy, the home country of Maria Valtorta). Even though the following lists are not comprehensive, they can give you a fairly good idea of the reality of the massive approval of Valtorta's work by many important clerics and personalities. Please note that all of the testimonials, statements, and proof of approval of these clerics and lay faithful are included in this e-book in the chapter entitled “Proof by the Testimony of Countless Trustworthy Clerics, Authorities, Experts, Scientists, and Pious Lay Faithful and the Tremendously Good Fruits Produced in Individuals and in the Church as a Whole”.
