Why haven't I seen any discussion of Padre Pio?
Stigmatic I the 20th century. Censured by the church. Saw angels. Supernatural knowledge of sins. Bilocation. Miraculous healings. Prophecies on coming apostasy.

Also St. Padre Pio was a champion of the Rosary !
Indeed an incredible man. There's a website about him that you should definitely be checking out: padrepiodevotions.org
Angel Lewis
From that website, I'm going to post his biography (which can only be a shortened version anyway):

you forget his greatest trait: false prophet

Seems fishy. I'm not completely sold yet because it's likely that Padre pio probably was looking at common crucifixs around him and thought that Christ was nailed by the middle of His palm, but in fact that's not how Romans nailed people to the cross. It's was either on the wrist or at that point between the wrist and the palm. Pic related explains it. A lot of these stigmata cases tend to follow pop culture version of the crucifixion as opposed to the real historical fact.Pics related are of the historical Roman method of crucifixion and a pic of padres stigmata position.

He was caught buying carbolic acid for "sterilization". His stigmata wounds are clearly acid burns. I love reading about the mystics of the church, but I find it hard to accept that Padre Pio was anything more than a pious fraud. He was rather showy with his gifts, for example he'd have people over for dinner then stop talking and when asked why he paused would say stuff like "Oh they were souls thanking me for delivering them from purgatory". Come on now.

I've seen stuff like this explained away by saying Jesus had his arms tied to the cross to support the weight and then had nails driven through the palms. I don't know if it has any historical basis though.
Hunter Thompson
Source on this? if he did this then he is very clearly under prelest, not that Catholics care or know what prelest is.
