But how did this guy meet Hillary? The article doesn't tell us. parsy.

[BunnySlippers]

Huh? Hillary met Padre Pio?

[parsifal]

How did Hillary get into the Italian monastery in 1964? She was still a kid. parsy.

That is one big honkin' picture of the good Padre. How big is that thing? It looks like its about a hundred feet tall. Wow!

"How did Hillary get into the Italian monastery in 1964? She was still a kid. parsy."

Probably, she was the Devil's corner man.

Yeah, it's huge. The Italians really know how to throw a party.

[BunnySlippers]

Are you saying she has claimed to have met Padre Pio? I have not heard that. It's not impossible but given the fact that she's not even Catholic ...

I think what's being said is that Hillary is the same Devil the good Padre wrestled wtih way back when.

Maybe the bad bitch was bilocating.

Thank you for the post, sure makes me wonder.

Mystical food for mystical thought.

Thanks for the post! It's the next best thing to being there!;-) Love the pictures.

My Nonna went to one of Padre Pio's Masses before he died. She took a picture and it was put in a very safe place. We're still looking for it..................

parsy, we'll ask Padre Pio to prevent Hillary from becoming President as his next miracle ;-)

I don't get how stigmata appears in the center of the palm, since crucifiction, necessarily, involved piercing the wrist. I musta missed something.

Where Christ was nailed to the cross.

I'd recommend "Padre Pio: The True Story" by Bernard C. Ruffin, which can be found at Amazon and elsewhere in paperback. It's a careful, factual history, well-written, but in the end amazing, because Padre Pio was such an amazing man.

[BunnySlippers]

It must have been a VERY safe place. ;-)

Oh, well, then. That clears it up.

Its your post. You said the guy wrestled with the Devil. I was just curious how she got over there to wrestle with him. I guess he won the match, but that figures, her being a girl and all. parsy.
