Padre Pio was a strong witness to Jesus Christ, and God showed this through his signs, so how can one accuse Padre Pio of doing the work of Satan when Padre Pio is steering souls away from Satan and towards Jesus Christ? We need more saints to witness the Passion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ, in fact, we all should be steering souls towards God; and not be envious of saints that have done the Lord's work.
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son" (John 14:12,13).

Padre Pio draws and drew men to himself. People flocked to see HIM. He was revered .

Over 1 million people went to his beatification.He not Christ is he subject of web sites , books, relics etc.

He did not do "works" for Christ he did works for himself.

Christ hung 3 hours on a cross for the salvation of the elect. That pain was sufficient to purchase the souls of men. Padre lived years with that pain, was he more of a man than Christ? Stronger? .

"He did not do "works" for Christ he did works for himself."

This is a falsehood. Why do you bear false witness against your neighbor?
