Here's what Rev. Sudac says about himself:
"The Cross on my forehead is painful especially when I pray. On certain days such as first Fridays of the month it begins to bleed. Before the phenomenon of stigmatization, I had gifts of languages (speaking in tongues), the gift of healing, the gift of counsel and slowly the gift of knowledge came also. After the stigmatization I receive many other gifts. Some of these gifts overwhelmed me very much. And so I need some time to get accustomed to what was happening. By this, I refer especially to the gift of levitation, bilocation, illumination and the knowledge of upcoming events- the knowledge about the near future and especially about future dangers"."
As the spokesman for the Diocese says, they have taken no position on it. I remain very skeptical, especially in light of his somewhat outrageous claims.

Sudac claims to have supernatural gifts, including stigmata, or marks, on his body that resemble those on the body of Jesus Christ when he was crucified. This happens to me a lot. I change razors when it does,

This joker's been all over the news lately here in NYC - his PR machine bills him as "the next Padre Pio". It's quite disgusting and superstitious.
I'm trying to find out whether he is involved with the schismatic Franciscans who run the Medjugorje scam, but he seems to be very secretive about his past.
All true Catholics should remember that real stigmatists, like St. Francis and Padre Pio, shunned public display and spiritual boasting about the gift. Padre Pio pleaded with friends to keep his gift secret - he never went on a world tour.

I attended Father Sudac's service at Holy Child Church on Staten Island last Tuesday. It was one of the most moving religious experiences of my life. About 1300 attended a very reverand service,that lasted over 3 hours.

Things like this just make me
so grateful to God for the wonderful joy and freedom of being a
BIBLICAL Christian! Not looking about for signs, wonders, chicken livers, phenomena, vapors, materializations, quivers, stigmata or tea leaves but
listening to the voice of the living God in His perfect and complete self-revelation: the BIBLE! Praise God! God grant that more come to know the wonderful freedom of the child of God who believes Jesus!

How about stigmata in general? Do you guys think it is real?

The priest claims that the marks bleed spontaneously and that he can heal, levitate, be in two places at once and know the future. The truly humble and gifted don't usually trumpet their gifts. They usually try to hide them.
