In addition to her world-famous writings on the Gospel of Jesus, Maria
Valtorta had a number of visions of the early Church of the catacomb
era. These visions included some extremely graphic descriptions of the fate
of the Christians at the hands of the pagan Romans of the time. These early martyrs refused to pay homage to the pagan and false gods of Rome, although they knew they would be subject to atrocious tortures or be thrown to wild beasts in the arenas. They would not even perform the simple task of burning incense to the golden statues of gods which loomed over the tripods on which incense burners were placed.
In many
of her visions there are accounts of the way Mass was said in the early
centuries. From these one can discern how the Mass developed organically
over time, becoming the Latin Mass as it was in the mid 20th century
when Maria Valtorta was composing her works.
Some of early martyrs
included in this book are Saint Agnes, Saints Justine and Cyprian,
Saints Perpetua and Felicita, Saint Cecelia, Saint Valerian, Saint
Phenicola, Saint Valente and Saint Catherine of Alexandria, as well as
many whose names are known only in Heaven.
Compare their steadfast faith with the mandated ecumenism with all religious beliefs of today's Vatican II church. I
wonder how these martyrs view from heaven the Great Apostasy of this
ecumenism, whereby dialog, veneration, mutual prayer, and no attempt at
conversion is made with false gods and religions as a matter of policy.
