Padre Pio: The True Story

I was talking to one of my Catholic co-workers about Padre Pio’s miracles and he ended up giving me a book called Padre Pio: the true story. 

It is so far pretty dry as it goes into Padre Pio’s parents life to start with.  I first read about Pio in a book called Holographic Universe, by Mike Talbot.  Talbot talked about Pio’s stigmata and ability to bi-locate.  Bi-location is something that his followers experience.  For example they claim that he actually appears before them and guides them through a tough time even when Pio himself has no knowlege of the event.  This is some that Faqir Chand and other Indian mystics and followers experience.  Although this is easily explained away by skeptics, I believe such a widespread phenomenon deserves some attention.

But so far I haven’t gotten to his miracles in the book.
