***Jesus Himself was considered a fraud by many, as well.***

Are you saying Jesus=Pio?

I stopped reading your post right there.

no, he was pointing out that even Christ had accusers.

Way to read things into someones post that weren’t even implied.

Surely you can’t be so dense as to equate analogy with identity. The issue here is an accusation of fraud. Both Jesus and Padre Pio were thus accused. Clearly, as a Christian, I make no equation of the two personages, I merely point out their similar circumstances of false accusation by unthinking mobs. Use your brains.

This is the reasoning that some people seem to use but which makes Catholic's discount anything that is said by said people.

I will repeat it slowly:

Jesus

Himself

was

considered

a

fraud

by

many

as

well.

It no where states, implies nor infers that Jesus=Pio. And if anyone read that into that sentence I could imagine how that person could twist the words in the Bible to mean exactly what they wanted them to mean.
