Judging by the frequency with which his image turns up on tombstones Padre Pio is much beloved...but carting his heart around is a bit much. Maybe as a Catholic I am missing something?

I don't get it either. Is it in a jar?

Oh man, I would be thrilled to view Padre Pio’s heart.
Padre Pio, pray for us.

Heart and feast should not be used in the same sentence.
Regardless...the matter is gross...

And we thought Billy Bob Thorton carrying around Angelina Jolie’s blood in a lie vial was weird.
I never “got” the whole relic thing.

Read up on relics I guess. I am not Roman Catholic but there is a line of thought that the bodies or in this case parts of saints don’t corrupt or decay and thus are used in shrines and stuff. I guess this is Padre Pio on tour.

Sort of. The term for the container holding a relic is reliquary.

Why only Boston? Devotion to Padre Pio is huge. Well, I guess Boston needs it most. The collapse of the faith there is remarkable.

The worship of Pio and asking a dead person to pray for you is twisted on levels you can’t understand.

No one worships St. Pio. He is venerated, but certainly not worshiped.

When people pray to Pio do they say such things as I love you Pio, please pray to the Lord on my behalf?
Of course they do, please find in scripture where exactly it tells you to pray to dead people?

They’re not dead. They’re alive in God (Mark 12:24-27). You’re far more dead in your blindness than they are simply because they are with Him.
