You put enough carpet cleaner in any body and it won’t decay for 100 years either. Incoruptable. HOCUS POCUS!There is no carpet cleaner in Padre Pio's veins. He died in September of 1968. His life (and death) are very well documented. The "HOCUS POCUS" you refer to would be directed toward Christ, as it was Christ who gave Padre Pio his wounds and allowed him to be incorruptible. What are the chances that you would have been able to live even one week with his wounds (all of the wounds of Christ; he lived 50 years with them) without weeping continually (those wounds bled and hurt!) like a troubled child or sorrowful woman consumed with cancer? Padre Pio endured immeasurable suffering (with joy!) to bring people to Our Lord Jesus Christ.
"Pray, pray to the Lord with me, because the whole world needs prayer. And every day, when your heart especially feels the loneliness of life, pray. Pray to the Lord, because even God needs our prayers" --St. Pio of Pietrelcina.Video: Padre Pio Celebrates the Eucharist.
Let me take a guess... it would be sacrilegious to turn over the body for an independent evaluation.... We just take your word for it.... How convenient.
THIS is the very reason why Intellectuals kick our asses. There are more than enough REAL proofs in the Bible to rationally prove God's Word. But no, we get to deal with an irrational Church which makes all kinds of bogus claims while covering up the raping of little children.
No wonder Islam is growing faster and bigger than the Catholic Church. I mean if you are gonna worship a lie, it better be a BIG one.
