Bravo! Excellent post.

As G.K Chesterton said, “When people stop believing in Christianity, they’ll believe anything else.”

for what it’s worth, Carbolic acid has long been used diluted to sterilize thing. Back in 1919 it was used to clean the hands of surgeons and wounds.

But full strength, it would cauterize and stop bleeding, not produce wounds…

Much of the recent film, Padre Pio Miracle Man, distributed by Ignatius Press and starring Sergio Castelitto, deals specifically with the allegations and accusations that Padre Pio was a fake. The film allows most of the calumny against St. Pio to come out through the fictionalized near deathbed inquisition which ends with its own ironic twist. It’s quite a spell-binding and well-acted film with a haunting quality that lingers long after its conclusion. And it is not lacking for humor either.

monica: I’ll pray for Saint Pio’s intercession–and you know Father Pio will interceed for this guy. Attacking saints brings bigh money–especially to those who are anti-Catholic, hopefully instead, the people who read his books will try to check out the facts and be converted–well, we can only pray.

The Vatican eventually removed him from his diocese

Ah, the days when men were men and rotten apples got tossed into Gehenna…

I bet if each one of us reading this post asks Saint Pio to intercede for this guy, it won’t be long before we are reading Luzzatto’s incredible conversion story.
