...this is the same pose Satanic worshippers take when they worship. If you put a black robe on this character he even looks like one of them. I am just saying it is not exactly a character I would put any weight in what he states.... He is one creepy looking character....Padre Pio followed Christ his whole life. He is an incorruptible saint and stigmatic. The miracles that abound from his intercessions are innumerable. (This photo is "softer" as Padre Pio's eyes are cast in another direction, but continual suffering for decades on end -- in addition to one's fervor for Christ because of it -- can cause a person's expression to be very focused/intense.) What do you think Christ's face (in actuality) looked like as he was beaten to death on the Cross?
