Description

Fr. Guido Bortoluzzi was born in 1907 and died in 1991 in the province of Belluno (N.E. Italy). Between 1968 and 1974 he received from the Lord eight revelations which concerned the origins of the Earth and of Man. He was a man without malice, and because of this it was granted him to see episodes that would normally make one feel awkward, if not embarrassed, but thanks to Fr. Guido's candour, they are related without trace of morbidity. This inner attitude of Fr. Guido permitted the Lord to deal with difficult subjects frankly and without circumlocutions.As is the way with the Lord, He chose as His witness a candid, unprejudiced soul, whose heart trusted in God's Love.The contrast between the simplicity of the 'means' and the greatness of the message makes it evident that the source of the contents cannot be but from God. The Lord chose neither a theologian, nor a scientist, because - as it is written in the Gospel - it is not possible to put new wine in old wineskins (i.e. in someone who is already self-sufficient and content with his own theories) without both of them being lost.… (more)

Local notes

Revelations received as visions from God to Italian parish priest Bortoluzzi.
From Giacobbi's Introduction: Evolutionism and creationism are irreconcilable. Both present “certain truths” but have “manifest limits in their own assumptions.”
“Evolutionism believes to have found the key in ‘randomness’ on which subsequent factors, such as environment and natural selection, intervened. But Evolutionism shelves itself because it cannot explain, for instance, how matter can be transformed into thought, or even how complex organs, such as the eye, are generated. On the other hand, Creationism remains unappreciated because it obstinately keeps borrowing literal expressions from the Bible, whilst these should be read with profound respect because they contain erudite allegoric meanings.
In any case, these schools of thought do have some merits: evolutionists stress the biological ladder of species; while creationists place God back in his original role as the Creator and the legitimate Lord of life.
It is clear the the truth is in overcoming both.”
Mediated creation: each new species “started with a seed,…no plant or animal has ever been created already developed and adult, as though by magic…”
First man and woman created as embryos in “female of a species now extinct.” Similarly with non-human species—all created as seeds in species already created.
“Hence Man ‘derives’ but does not ‘descend’ from the species immediately inferior because in everything, and for everything, he is a ‘new creation’, where no gene from the inferior species was passed to the superior, only the nutriment passed.” New species created with some of the same genes as the one they derived from, but that was to avoid rejection.
Some early humans degraded the species by interbreeding with the lower species from which they had derived. “This terrible act polluted his illegitimate offspring and caused in the future illegitimate generations a huge prejudice because they were born hybridized. That act was a sin of grave disobedience against the sole law given by God the first Man; a law which said that ‘every species must generate only according to his own species’.” That was the original sin. ‘Sons of God’ were pure descendants of Adam; ‘daughters of men’ were descendants of Adam and pre-humans. Eve (Lilith, mother of Cain) was Adam’s partner in this original sin; the legitimate wife of Adam was a ‘real’ human co-created with him, mother of his legitimate, pure offspring.
