Padre Pio
      
   




   

      

         
  
  Padre Pio was the religious name of Italian mystic Francesco Forgione.
  
                                
BASIC R.C. BELIEF
  A  speaker  at the Rosary for Peace Rally, Dayton, Ohio, October 1986 said, "Padre  Pio  is  the  only  man  known  to have possessed all seven spiritual 
  gifts. These were:  Stigmata,   Prophecy ( Padre  Pio  prophesied that when there were as many Blue  Army members as Communist        
party members, Russia would be converted),   Discerning  of  spirits (he could tell if you were lying to him in  Confession        
).  Invisibility, Levitation, Bi-location, and  Heavenly Fragrance (he smelled good without applying perfume)."
  
  
In  PADRE  PIO  THE  STIGMATIST  by  Rev. Charles Carty (the same priest who 
  teamed  with Rev. Rumble to write RADIO REPLIES), we read of many miraculous 
  claims  that  occurred  in Padre Pio's life. He foretold the exact moment of 
  the  death  of the King of England; when bombers were sent to bomb his city, 
  he  levitated to the height of the airplanes to deter them, and thousands of 
  healings  were  attributed  to  him,  including many to which he bi-located. 
  Incidents  of  his  invisibility  were  numerous, and he very often read the 
  minds  of  unsuspecting people. The stigmata (wounds of Christ) poured forth 
  large  quantities  of  blood  - the wound in his side is said to have bled a 
  cupful  every day, and yet, despite Padre Pio's only eating one sparse meal 
  a  day, he never lost any weight or energy. If you are interested in reading 
  the  book,  it  is published by TAN BOOKS AND PUBLISHERS, Rockford, IL 61105 
  and can be obtained at almost any Roman Catholic bookstore.
