Wasn't that the guy who bled from his palms?

OTOH, I predict it'll be ten minutes after Pio's canonization that some psycho will claim he was molested by Pio in the early 20th century. < /sarcasm>

I went to a Catholic grammar school in the 60's and 70's which was run by a Franciscan order of sisters and Capuchin brothers. We knew about Padre Pio a long time ago. He was a miracle while he was alive! So many stories attributed to him. He is truly deserving of being a saint.

Padre Pio is the only priest to have received the stigmata. All others who received them were either of the laity, brothers (such as St Francis), or religious women.

Padre Pio was a remarkable priest and confessor. He once said he didn't fear death because he could do more good work from heaven than he could here on earth. Here's praying he hears our cries for the cleansing of the Church during the present time of crisis.

Padre Pio is a saint already in my book.

The Church is doing the right thing. THIS is great news, I am filled with joy!
