From the OP:
  • Maria d'Agreda wrote in her book, "This book has God Himself for author; everything in it is divine and revealed by God. The book has obtained the solemn approbation of the three Persons of the Blessed Trinity". But the Catholic Church teaches that the Holy Bible is the only book divinely revealed!
  • In her book, she follows the philosophy of Duns Scot about the reasons for the mystery of the Incarnation, which goes against the opinion of Saint Thomas Aquinas. She went so far as to write, "Any man who will not believe what is written in my book will greatly displease, not the person who wrote it as a pure instrument, but the Blessed Virgin Mary herself." Doing so, Maria d'Agreda canonized as divinely inspired the particular doctrines of the Scotist school!
Where did she ever say this? I find this to be entirely incorrect. Further, although I am open to correction and having read it myself, I find the Cardinal's summary below to be the truth.
In Volume One, it says:
"...The learned and pious Cardinal D Aguirre says that he considers all the studies of fifty years of his previous life as of small consequence in comparison with the doctrines he found in this book, which in all things are in harmony with the Holy Scriptures, the Holy Fathers and Councils of the Church."

From the OP:
Quote
Maria d'Agreda teaches that the body and soul of Our Lady had been carried to Heaven just after her birth by a throng of Angels, to be welcomed by the eternal Father. But the Catholic Church teaches that the gates of Heaven were closed to all men until the coming of Christ!
This is explained in the first book:
341. Since this, O soul, was the work of my dear Son, the true God and man, He, as the Lord of virtues and graces, exalted and adorned me with them from the first moment of my Immaculate Conception. And as, more over, the hindrance of sin touched me not, I was free from the impediments which prevented other mortals from entering into the eternal gates of heaven; on the
contrary the powerful arm of my Son acted with me as being the Mistress of all virtues and as the Queen of heaven.

Grouping City of God with Valtorta's and Emmerich's works is deceitful. City of God has had 400 years of scrutiny, naturally there would be something somewhere questioning a point or two of what is in the like 3200 pages. Not one author of the critiques states the page or the edition from which they quote a line, very suspicious.  In just one quote, Stubborn of CI quotes the page, why don't any of the authors quoted? 

Sounds like the French had a problem with the Spanish being chosen by The Blessed Mother.
