When was padre pio exhumed

Was this, as sceptics immediately claimed, proof that Padre Pio was a fake? He died in , aged 81, but the bleeding and miracles recorded in his name led to the monk being made a saint six years ago. One author has suggested he was a self-harmer who used carbolic acid to create the wounds, but after years of scorning him the Vatican now insists they were not caused by "external forces".

Born Francesco Forgione in a small town near Naples in , he joined the Capuchin order and took a name that means "pious" in Italian. The wounds started to appear when he was 23, but their nature — and the cult that grew up around him — alarmed the Catholic authorities. As a nation-state, although under acres in size, it now has more freedom than it ever did before.

No pope, even the worst sinner among them, ever HAS. And if one does, he will thereby, by that very deed, FALL from the papal office as a heretic. Total malarkey. The pope is immune from the law because of his role as leader of a nation state.

You speak total falsehood. I speak no falsehood whatsoever. They pointed to the Word, the Torah. Jewish believers have existed since apostles. The were Messianic Jews leading others to the Messiah. Constantine did away with everything Jewish, especially the practice of celebrating Passover and forbid it during the council of Nicea. Remember the Bereans? We need to follow their example.

Actually, it was Saint Paul, in his letter to the Galatians, who blisteringly condemned the Galatian church for keeping as necessary, the Jewish festivals and feasts as well as circumsision, too.

The council of Nicea was decided by Bishops. Constantine was an honored Guest as he provided the venue. He, himself, decided nothing, as he was not a theologian. By the way, I apologize for mistaking you for a guy. Mea maxima culpa!! God love all of you. Your endless rant has convinced nobody. All true Christians filled with the Holy Spirit discern who you are. Time is short for those followers of satan, and I discern in my spirit through your words the absolute desperate attempt to deceive.

I see you as a ravenous, drooling, deceptive wolf. In fact, your words makes me shudder inside and they conjure up visions of a black, hot, eternal hell where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. You are a follower of darkness and deceit.

You seem utterly desperate to take as many souls with you to hell as possible with your false doctrine. So give it a rest. You spew nothing but lies. He was unfortunately able to blow down the second house made of sticks. He was desperate to get to the brick house because he knew his time was running out. Thinking with his pea-sized serpentine brain, he reasoned and plotted and decided to go down the chimney of the house made of bricks.

When the demonic wolf slid down the chimney he landed in the pot and boiled to death — a metaphor for the lake of fire for which satan and all his demons will be cast into. This is not a matter of opinion, as your own words and doctrins condemn you. Your list of enemies is a long one. You are not filled with the Holy Spirit.

Woe to you, as judgment day comes soon. Your arrogance and lies are not welcome here. A great deal more heresy is involved in Catholic Christology, such as presenting Him as perpetually an infant or child subject to His mother, perpetually on the cross, but lack of space prevents further detail. This is a partially true but seriously misleading statement.

The implication is that the creeds are an all-encompassing statement of biblical Christianity, which they are not. Furthermore, there is a vast difference between the meaning Catholics and Protestants attach to what the creeds say. We can even suffer for the salvation of others. The Apostolic Constitution of Jan. This is rank heresy to Protestants. Yet Agony implies that Catholics mean the same thing as Protestants by the creeds—an inexcusable and deadly error in a book by eminent Christian scholars written to point out errors within the church!

Though this and the other books cited above contain much that commends them, their approval of Catholicism is tragically misleading. Roman Catholicism rejects salvation by faith and preaches a false gospel of works that cannot save. Salvation is not in Christ but in the Church through submission to its edicts and sacraments. Paul Crouch, head of the largest Christian TV worldwide network, demeans the martyrs by calling the issues they died for mere semantics; and he makes a mockery of the Reformers by declaring orthodox the heresies that sparked the Reformation.

Failing to recognize this fact, many evangelical leaders and cult experts have themselves been deceived by Rome and need to be confronted and informed. How tragic to assume that Catholics are Christians who merely have some peripheral beliefs and practices which seem peculiar to Protestants but which will not prevent them from being saved.

A false gospel is a false gospel, and it damns those who believe it, whether preached by Mormonism or Catholicism. A cult is a cult. Roman Catholics, like the members of other cults, need to be treated with compassion, warned of cultic lies, and presented with the true gospel which alone can save them. To say that my worship of Jesus Christ is legalistic, is insulting. To me. I have said nothing deceptive to anyone here, at any time, and everything I have said has ALL historical fact to back it up.

But when you call the Original Faith a black magic, occult service, you are going way too far. My religious Faith is not false, not pagan, not apostate, not demonic, not black magic. And now, because of the blasphemous hearts I see manifested by the horrific words posted in these some of them replies, I am going to obey the apostolic command, right now, and shake the dust off my feet and move on. Do not think that you have won or that God will let you get away with such libel and slander.

Believe all the private interpretations you want, and ignore the facts. That is reprehensible. Ignorance is not reprehensible, but willful ignorance,coupled with blasphemous libels, IS culpable. Some of you are exhibiting THAT. Their spirits, and yours, are subjective opinions. I warn you: Restrain the things you libellously say.

Call me any name you want. Call the Faith given through the Holy Spirit sinful, diabolical, and black magic, and you are on the precipice of the Unforgivable Sin. It is very real. And libelling your neighbor, as a practicer of black magic, as you have libelled me here, and all my people, is a deadly sin that the LORD will punish with the utmost severity, especially if you realize you are slandering OR if you have the opportunity, and you all do since you all have the Internet and access to GOOGLE, to FIND OUT if you are lying by saying these things.

I am shaking the dust off my feet. I am no longer going to cast pearls before swine, as Jesus Christ told us not to do. One of you threatened to start spamming me. If you start spamming my inbox, I will report this to the FBI as well as all branches of the government which deal with such matters. Do you really want this Leftwing government to receive any complaints along with your email addresses and proof that you are illegally spamming?

That threat had better not be carried out. It is illegal to spam people. Doubly so if the target warns you to leave him or her alone regarding their email inbox. This statement here, constitutes my doing just that. It is official, and it is legally-binding. We obey God, not men. No, we believe that God has always had a remnant who were sanctified in the Truth of His word. Others did as well.

Martin Luther was a learned Bible student. So even the RCC contained those who highly valued the Bible.

When Luther put the Bible that he had recently translated into German into the hands of Frederick the Elector, Frederick wept. You raise the point of Calvin lending his approval to the execution of Michael Servetus. Where in the New Testament does it ever tell us to murder anyone for their beliefs???

The blood of many, many Christians is on the collective hands of the RCC clergy. How dare they insist that their murderous whoredom is the true Church of Christ and that salvation is found nowhere else??? The true Bride of Christ is all those who are devoted followers of the Truth.

You are blaspheming. I warn you: you better stop it. Not for my sake. It only ticks me off. But I am a mere human. No matter HOW saved you think you are. The Waldensians, followers of Peter Waldo, were rejectors of papal authority, it is true. Some were very nice people. I do not condone the way church leaders handled their error and heresy.

Repeatedly warned. Christians would never condone killing people? Peter pronounced the sentence of God on them, individually, and they both dropped dead, and Peter did not shed one tear. And God struck them dead for it. The apostles pronounced out and out curses on people who turned away from the Faith and hence, from Christ. You say you follow no men.

The doctrines you believe orginated, these interpretations of scripture, in the minds of violent, brutal, anti-Semitic men. They, he declared, were not scripture, not inspired of God. THIS is the founder of the basic doctrines at variance with Catholicism that you protestants all embrace.

Very flawed men to say the least. They would be horrified and appalled at what you assert in this thread. THEY were martyrs. You will never find such a teaching among our dogmas. Not one of our teachings was ever made up by any one man nor little group of men. The followers of Peter Waldo were a fluke. No-one believing their beliefs existed in the Church for well over a millenium.

A group of Waldensians, in one small area, is not the church. By definition, it cannot be. This was, indeed, a revival of ancient gnosticism dressed in Christian language. Despite what some liars like the late Mr. They, to spread their heresy, attacked our priests and deacons, killed some of them, and occupied OUR churches. Even secular, anti-Catholic documentarians have produced thoroughly researched programs on the Disovery, History, and other secular channels, debunking these myths.

Yes, people were killed for heresy, but never without a long trial after first being exhorted, warned over and over again, with many proofs that they were in grave error and by spreading that error, were endangering the souls of their fellow citizens.

In the entire over year period when it was most active, a total of about to people, all in all, in all the countries, were executed. Good lord, 20 times that many have been put to death, at least, by the death penalty, for crimes NOT limited to murder, in the United States alone. Catholic Europe was not some mass-murdering Hellhole for innocent people. And your antiCatholic doctrines, private interpretations all of them, come from men who, themselves, ordered people killed for THEIR private interpretations.

No way is the Holy Spirit responsible for this. Were there bad Catholic leaders, esp in the middle ages?? Oh YES. Not ONE. Not a single Catholic doctrine is or ever has been the purely private conclusion or interpreation of any Catholic pope or popes.

Everybody always believed it. Churches everywhere were being named after Mary, or after the Assumption, even before the Nicene Council, when Christianity was still a death-penalty offense Religion and your baptism into the church was a death sentence. It always was, and those of us who have done our homework, and are honest about these things, all admit and acknowledge that, for it is cold, hard, irrefutable fact.

You can deny it, you can howl and call it whoredom, you can mock it, ridicule it, rage against it, but refute it? With facts?

THAT neither you, nor anyone else, can sucessfully do. Mock it? Yes you can. Deny it? Yes, you can. But refute it factually?? No, you cannot. Nobody can. I will pray to the LORD for you, and for all who believe this nonsense you have unfortunately imbibed.

What a bunch of Roman Catholic propaganda and lies. It grows old refuting the same old banal cliches over and over and over. There is not a more demonic or unbiblical practice than the Catholic confessional. According to Catholic. What a bunch of lies! Come to think of it, who does forgive the priests sins? Does he go to confession too? This false teaching is NOT taught in the Bible. The Seven Sacraments of the Catholic religion were first affirmed in A.

There is NO power conferred through being water baptized, going to confession, partaking of Holy Communion, et cetera.

When you get baptized, you are getting wet. Too many religions today have baptism on the brain, and have perverted the simple Gospel of Jesus Christ by sinfully requiring baptism for salvation. You do NOT have to be water baptized to go to Heaven. The Catholics worship the Eucharist more than Christ Himself. The logical conclusion then must be that one passes Jesus out in their feces as well. What blasphemy!!!

How ridiculous and absurd! There is NO such teaching in the Bible. Jesus simply told us to remember Him. How in the world did some nut come up with the idea that we are literally eating our Savior?

Was Jesus a literal door? A literal loaf of bread? The Catholic religion has no right to pervert the plain teachings of the Word of God; but they do horrible and sinfully.

Our spiritual life is nourished by the Word of God 1st Peter It is the Holy Spirit of God that empowers and strengthens believers Ephesians The crazy idea that the Catholic mass has some special power to it is absurd, and unbiblical. The catholic religion is dangerous, teaching people false religion, leading one billion souls into the lake of Fire. The entire concept of Catholic salvation is corrupt, very similar to the hellish teaching of Lordship Salvation being propagated in unsuspecting, carnal, ecumenical and apostate churches today!!!

It is evil and a road to Hell. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven. Please notice this subtle deception of Satan. If what the Catholic Church teaches is true i. Clearly, we have a discrepancy here. If priests did have the power to forgive your sins, but refused to do so, then it would be a sin. So what did Jesus mean in John ? The Gospel is the key to Heaven or Hell, depending on whether you obey it or not. To claim that Jesus gave the Apostles the power to forgive sin is blasphemy.

Clearly, the Catholic Church is lying! To whom should we confess our sins? You need Jesus Christ, God Almighty, to forgive your sins and save your soul. Only Jesus has the nail-scared hands and feet; thus, only Jesus has the power and right to forgive your sins.

The problem is that people continue to believe the excuses and lies of their sinister ministers. If a soulwinning Christian tries to share the Word of God with a lost Catholic, that Catholic often counters with something their priest taught them. Furthermore, this was not the norm when Jesus prayed.

There are times in our life where we will want to keep asking God for something; but, that is certainly not the same as mumbling the same WRITTEN, dead, repetitious, religious, words over and over. Think about it.

And yet, not one mention is made of the name of Jesus Christ in the Rosary. Like it or not, the Word of God condemns formalized religion. This is just one example of a manmade tradition, not taught anywhere in the Bible. The Rosary was invented in A.

I plead with you as a loving friend, forsake the Great Whore of Catholicism, and turn to Jesus Christ alone! Follow the Word of God; not the religion of men, who make a living off of victims like you. Oh lord, these comments are so stupid. Not the commentors, but the comments themselves. So very, very stupid. I know. Because I used to make them, all of them. I have looked into these things. They are bull. So I no longer make thee claims, rather I expose them for the demon-injspired libels that they most certainly are.

I have been to jesus-is-savior. I laugh at what I read there. May the LORD bring you into his full doctrinal truth. Nice people believe propaganda. You guys are proof of that. Vicious persecutors, men like Luther and Calvin, condemning religious persecution. Such hypocrites, condemn in others what they themselves were doing. Jesus be with you all. Good night. You lost. Deal with it. Woe to you. Enjoy the show while you can, trecherous wolf.

Judgement day is almost upon you. Your white-washed version of the account notwithstanding, not ONE of them should have been murdered for their errant beliefs. JM…you are wrong on so many levels.

You ahve a fundamental lack of understanding of Catholicism, theology, dogma, doctrine…. There are many Bible verses which contradict what you have said about Mary, about prayer, about confession of sins, and the Eucharist especially. This new and final sacrifice replaces the old Covenant, the old sacrifices,the holocaust of animal blood, is ended forever by God Himself. The Eucharist is the fulfillment of Passover. Christ, the Paschal Sacrifice, is the Lamb of God.

Sound crazy? Read the 6th chapter of the Gospel of John. He commands that we must do this. To say Catholicism is a cult is to say Christ founded a cult.

The Catholic Church did not spring up from some guy with an idea for a church, some madman, some delusional wrong-headed fool…it was born with Christ and has continued ever since. Seriously, you need to read the early Church Fathers, those of the first and second centuries, pre-Nicene Concil, and see the true formation of the Christian faith in all its Catholic glory. Christ founded the Catholic Church, it is a matter of history, not of faith.

To say formalized church is wrong is to go counter to the words of Christ who stated he was building a church on the foundation of Peter the Catholic Church.

Church without authority Christ gave His authority to the Apostles, who passed in down through the ages is a recipe for the Protestant madness the world is suffering through. Stop writing huge long booklets. Break it up in smaller posts. The point was, it has been proven that the wrongs of the Inquisition have been grossly, monumentally, gargantuanly, distorted by the antiCatholic camp. Come on. They disagreed majorly, not just on minor points. Baptismal regeneration? TRUE, said Luther.

Demonic Falsehood!! Other reformers said that this was an Evil practice. The anabaptists were hated by ALL the earlier reformers, and themselves were violent rioters against their fellow protestants, who believed that the anabaptists should all be killed and many were, by their fellow protestants.

If you were a presbyterian, and set foot in Germany proclaiming Presbyterianism, Luther would have had you strung up. They hated each other fiercely, yet today in Geneva, there is a set of statues of ALL the mutually-loathing Reformers, standing next to each other like they were all good friends united in a common, loving, noble cause.

A woman prays in front of the exhumed body of mystic saint Padre Pio in a Catholic church in Rome on February 4, Padre Pio is one of the most popular Roman Catholic saints.

Suggest a correction. What's Hot. More In Religion. D'Ambrosio confirmed that neither his feet nor hands showed any trace of the stigmata, since "as we know, they disappeared at the moment of his death.
