I thought this post should be kept separate than to continue in the Cosmology Poll discussion. In that group of postings there are references to the geocentric Universe of Saint Hildegard of Bingen (1096 to 1180)

Few know of the universe of Maria Valtorta.(1897-1961).
Maria Valtorta was a Roman Catholic Italian writer and poet. She was a Franciscan tertiary and a lay member of the Servants of Mary who reported reputed personal conversations with, and dictations from, Jesus Christ. In her youth, Valtorta traveled around Italy due to her father's military career. Wikipedia

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith gave permission to Emilio Pisani at the Centro Editoriale Valtortiano (the publishing house of Maria Valtorta’s works)[3] to continue publishing her work as it is without modifications. In a letter dated May 6, 1992 (Prot. N. 324-92), addressed to Pisani , Bishop Dionigi Tettamanzi, secretary to the Italian Episcopal Conference, gave permission for the work to continue to be published for the “true good of readers and in the spirit of the genuine service to the faith of the Church.” Wiki

Here is another website about her book:

Now watch this below, i think a quote from her book. A friend told me she is a heliocentrist. Now unlike Hildegard she is not a saint, yet. What you will see below has been condemned as heresy up to and again during the trial of Bruno for which he was burned at the stake. But Maria lived in modern times after the 1820 U-turn on all these cosmic heresies. Accordingly her many worlds, which are being looked for in the Church's observatory at the moment, got the O.K  



Anybody know anything about this woman who is read by many Catholics?
