If Padre Pio was still alive
Well, would devout crods travel to see an appointed socialist - the Marxist-taught enemy of the true church?
The Argentine could have pre-released an announcement of his resignation. That would have brought a lot of the old crowds back.
The dying gasps of socialism are drawn from the lungs of a Pope and a President.
If Padre Pio were alive, he would yell obsenities at rorate caeli. Pio was slammed like Francis by the same ilk....milk.
He could have taken a lesson from the Democrats: bus them in.
‘Can I buy some relics from you?’
Since when did you become omniscient?
Here's what Pope John XXIII thought of Padre Pio:
In 1964, Pope Paul VI lifted the unjust and severe restrictions on Padre Pio's ministry
And here's what Humble Jorge thinks of John XXIII:
He canonizes him.
LOL!
If John XXIII misunderstood Padre Pio because of misinformation, that still has nothing to do with John’s performance of heroic virtue, his sanctity.
Aldo Cazzullo, a writer on religious affairs, noted that John XXIII - the former Angelo Roncalli - had “disliked and mistrusted” Padre Pio since he travelled in Apulia in the 1920s, regarding the friar’s “almost medieval mystical faith” as at odds with his own modernist outlook. In the 1960 memorandum the Pope says he feels “privileged to be free of the contamination which for forty years has clung to hundreds of thousands of souls who have been stupefied and disturbed to an unbelievable degree.”
