During WW2, Padre Pio shocked his confreres when he assured them that then-communist Russia would one day become the center of Christian renewal after America degenerated.
“The time will come when people will pluck out their eyes for a piece of bread. Shops will be looted, warehouses will be stormed and destroyed; A country will disappear, a great country. The country will be erased from the maps forever, with it history, wealth and people all dragged through the mire…”
by Patrick O’Carroll – (henrymakow.com)
Padre Pio was a Capuchin Friar born in 1887 in Pietrencina in the Campania region of southern Italy.
He bore the Stigmata, or wounds of Christ, for exactly 50 years and 3 days.
Padre Pio made many prophecies, all of which came to pass.
When he received the Stigmata in 1918, he is said to have known the time of his own death.
Although he died in 1968, Padre Pio still remains one of the foremost Christian Voices in the world today because he predated the deterioration of the Catholic Church after Oct 1958 (when Freemasonic Pope John XXIII and his first appointed cardinal Pope Paul VI jointly enacted the disastrous Vatican II after which God, in the words of Malachi Martin, simply withdrew His Grace from the Catholic Church). Padre Pio remained a TRADITIONAL CATHOLIC until his death.
For the process of canonization, Padre Pio’s body was exhumed in 2008 and was found to be almost totally uncorrupted.
During WW2, Padre Pio shocked his confreres when he assured them that then-communist Russia would one day become the center of Christian renewal after America degenerated.
There are many wonderful anecdotes of Padre Pio’s interaction with his Guardian Angel, as well as Jesus and Mary, and with other heavenly personages.
In the confessional, Padre Pio would know in advance the sins of the penitent, including significant ones that the penitent may have forgotten (whether accidentally or deliberately).
PADRE PIO’S COMMENTS, DATED 1950, REGARDING THE GREAT CHASTISEMENT

I will have to buy some more baked beans.
Fabulous article the prophecies of Padre Pio have been echoed by
the Bulgarian blind mystic Baba Vanga the london coin man
and Rasputin
The public must stop their governments evil actions
even now the clock is ticking
The man is a fraud
I wouldn’t dare to define what God is but I know one thing for certain, all of the beauty of the world we see around us didn’t happen by accident in some bizarre “Big Bang” event.
Another dead prophet of doom! How many more will be hauled out for an airing, and to give us the screemiing heebi-jeebies? Where are these sages kept while they wait to be put on show … in Henry Macow’s bizarre head?
The political angle of this one is not subtle: We are invited to entertain the probability that President Putin is one of the CHABAD crew. But we have been showered with such invitations for a year at least. This is sick. And boring.
I was a bit interested until the stigmata stuff, so I guess it held my interest for about 5 seconds.
“But, I got a crystal ball, he said… and held it to the light… so I snatched it, all away from him, and I showed him how to wipe it right… I wrapped some newspaper round my head so I looked like…..” Zappa.
The Lord brought HIS WORD to pass and sent HIS Messenger:
Due to men down the last 2,000 years misunderstanding the Word of God, (often due to ignorance) the pure understanding of the Word of God as the Apostles knew it had to be “RESTORED”.
The Lord Jesus Christ must REMAIN in Heaven until the times of RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS:
Acts 3:20 + 21.
20. And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21. Whom the heaven must receive until the times of RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
The word “RESTITUTION” means “RESTORE.”
The Lord stated that He would send HIS END TIME PROPHET to “RESTORE” the Word of God, as the Apostles knew it.
Matthew 17:11.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall first come, and RESTORE ALL THINGS.
The Lord stated that He would send His End Time Prophet in THIS DAY.
Malachi 4:5.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet BEFORE the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
This Elijah prophet comes BEFORE, “The coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord,” which happens in THIS DAY.
To recieve the Lord we MUST receive the MESSENGER who the Lord sends as the messenger is given the necessary understanding of the Word of God:
John 13:20.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth WHOMSOEVER I SEND receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
We are now living in the last days, God has kept His word and sent His prophet, thereby “RESTORING” His word to His Bride.
God has raised the dead on FIVE occasions through HIS CHOSEN VESSEL.
God was photographed SIX times, (Veiled in the form of the Pillar of Fire) with HIS CHOSEN VESSEL.
http://www.williambranhamstorehouse.com/pdf_downloads/the%20supernatural%20halo%20photograph.pdf
The, “Elijah anointing,” (Concerning the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ) is used “TWICE” at each “Coming of the Lord.”
The Lord kept His Word and sent His Messenger to THIS seventh and final Laodicean Church Age……….
Revelation 3:14.
And unto the ANGEL (MESSENGER) of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.
Revelation 10:7.
But in the days of the voice of the SEVENTH ANGEL, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
John the Baptist`s ministry fulfilled Isaiah`s prophecy:
Matthew 3:3.
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD, make his paths straight.
John, “Prepared the way for the Lord,” John did NOT “Restore anything,” as that which would need to be restored, (The full understanding of the whole Bible,) had not yet been given.
To have your sins forgiven, you MUST “Walk in the Light”
(1 John 1:7) which is the manifested Word of God for YOUR DAY.
The Bridegroom who is the “WORD” (John 1:1 + 14) will marry a “WORD” Bride, NOT a denominational bride.

A man MUST walk in the LIGHT (1 John 1:7) the specific Word of God for that day, to be under the Blood of Jesus Christ.
Ukraine as a second Israel does not make much sense; it is farmland, and the Jews hate farmers, so the proper interpretation has not changed; as in all Western nations, you have Jews cleverly eliminating White populations. White countries have contributed a trillion dollars towards this killing of Whites, according to the article, and that tells you how much “White Supremacy” there is in politics
Good old-fashioned fear-mongering from the last of the Jehovic control-freaks
Padre Pio, the friar with fingerless gloves whose image is found on a million Catholic key chains; who was canonized before 200,000 ecstatic pilgrims five years ago, was a charlatan who deliberately mutilated himself with acid to give the appearance of bearing the stigmata of Christ, according to evidence to be published next week.
The Italian historian Sergio Luzzatto will release Padre Pio, Miracles and politics in 20th century Italy – a book producing new evidence from Vatican archives, which he says proves that the charismatic friar secretly procured carbolic acid with which to burn his hands, feet and sides.
The allegations are not new: two successive popes regarded Padre Pio as a fraud. By 1920, when Pio was 33 and was already exhibiting his scars before masses of pilgrims, the church was worried that his cult was spinning out of control. Reports commissioned by the church claimed Pio regularly scourged himself with a metal-tipped whip, and had sex with women twice a week. For many years Pio was banned from celebrating mass in public.
Since then, Vatican II, the Vatican has forbad Catholics to pray for the conversion of the Jews, and has been busy expelling orthodox priests.

You make very interesting points, Nemmersdorf. Thank you. I shall add the ‘he’s a fraud’ category to my current arsenal for sniping at the RC big hats.
It is morally obligatory to snipe at this very venal lot, first because they are and were very venal. One need only recall the crusades, even against fellow Christians (the Cathars) whom they wiped out during a relentless 20-year war, the burnings at the stake, the brutal punishment of scholarship not in line with their teachings, the inquisitions, their burdensome church taxes, their unfailing alliance with against the people with whoever is the the strongest secular power, and most recently, their long-hidden sexual abuse of children.
Is this criminal context one into which the Virgin Mary is likely to drop to hand out messages to humanity? Obviously, it is not. Yet they have fed off this message-giving apparition hoax for years: Lourdes, Fatima, Medjugorje … all in the effort to force-feed the view that they are the one church favoured by God, thus the providers of the only path to salvation. I cannot but marvel at the number of people who manage to believe this tosh.
@ Leppard…
Zappa’s best quote:
“At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater. ”
We are at the table and chairs bit….
My 2:01 message is at the wrong article
People love to put words into the Padres mouth. His most powerful significant and authentic quote.”pray, hope, don’t worry”. Reject the doom and gloom. No Jesus? No peace. Know Jesus. Know peace.
Yes, indeed, Nemmersdorf. Apart from other considerations, the Romans nailed their subversives to a cruciform, through the prisoner’s wrists; therefore belying the many claims of miraculous stigmata manifestations, over the centuries. I say this, as one who loves and honours Jesus.
Do you remember the dream I told you?
This civilization will be erased, we are ending the second and last page (there had remained only two blank sheets) of the Big Book. A new one will appear, where all religions will merge into one. However, before it happens, the dead will come out of the graves. In modern interpretation, there will be an impressive displacement of the Earth crust.

Oddly enough, I have only just read this article + comments – all I can add is what I posted elsewhere here this morning-
‘Guy Reid-Brown on April 2, 2023 at 11:47 am
A lot of people spend a lot of time in these Comments Columns calling each other variations of ‘idiot’, and often terms a deal less polite.
(They either use pseudonyms or have very common surnames so that they could be one of thousands but – I never insult people because of the power of negative words.)
Which explains why those United in Evil – who support Globalism by default- are on such a good wicket.
Because by their very human nature a lot of those despise each other as well, but the most Evil – the ones who have been practicing it for generations of their generation – by their very lack of scruple, hold on to the most power.
However I am going to be a bit negative here and use up my 2023 quota of negativity all at once by utilising the word ‘chump’ here – nothing stronger.
There are ‘chumps’ here who actually usually make very astute observations but they make a big deal of ‘dissing’ Westerners who choose to be Believing Christians.
BIG mistake. I could spend all day and thousands of words explaining why, but ask Les Visible, who is not a Christian (and I am agnostic)
How do people think the Civilisation they are bemoaning as being dismantled on all levels came about in the first place?
WHAT do they think people were treated like in pre-Christian times?
Why do they think that it is ALWAYS Open Season on Christianity, no other Creed, and via that, on the Family Unit?
How do they expect people to be connected to each other, bond in families, to be integrated into the Cycles of Life on this Planet, to develop and mature as individuals, without a collective acknowledgement of the Sacred and the marking of the Rites of Passage – Birth, Adolescence, Marriage, Death?
Paradox lies at the heart of existence; it is a fact of our condition that we have the best chance of leading integrated, productive and varied lives if we have the constraints of Faith – rather than the constraints of the small-minded and Woke totalitarian constructs of post-Christian Europe.
Those men who dedicated their lives to, say, building the Great Gothic Cathedrals of Europe, often in the knowledge that they would be long dead before the completion of the project, created something beautiful and everlasting that the Shard in London or the Empire State in New York cannot approach in terms of – ANYTHING.
Europe produced Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky (who wrote highly regarded Christian Orthodox Music) within the context of Christian Civilisation – no one alive now even approaches them – most of the great technological and social innovations from the efficient and still functional Victorian Sewers of London to the first Hospitals were created in the context of Christian Civilisation.
And this is not even to mention the Supernatural Aspect, which is Real and channeled collectively and SANELY, with a direct connection to the Timeless Wisdom and Sacred Knowledge of Proportion and Harmony in Music, Prayer, Prose, Architecture and so forth, and based on a profound and instinctive knowledge of how human societies can best be organised to provide the maximum autonomy combined with the maximum continuity.
Any Individual ‘dissing’ Christianity will have plenty of material to work on, but are going to be confined to their individual perception. Others will agree with them on the awfulness, or zomboidness, or whatever, of Christianity, but they won’t agree with each other on much else.
They may well be gifted with their own Spiritual Insights that are of benefit to them, but it will not be of much valuable collective application .
Besides, I LOVE what this chap is saying here – he has drawn the same conclusion about the Ukraine Conflict as me – as in – ‘I have no idea’ –
‘Significantly, this is all coming to a head just as Zelensky’s armies are supposedly about to launch their long-expected Spring offensive, about which there is as much confusion as inside the monastery. Some argue that the Ukrainian military is a spent force and have effectively already lost the war, while others argue that, in fact, they have assembled a formidable iron fist which Russia might not be able to withstand, and said fist could well smash the Russians and deal them a devasting blow. Which version is closer to the truth is beyond the competence of your humble Orthodox correspondent’

@ Sophie
The Medjugorje manifestations of Mother Mary may, indeed, be fraudulent but the Fatima communications are not, I feel sure.
It is known that the springs of Lourdes are unusually rich in hydrogen peroxide; the antibiotic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-carcinogenic, tingley tasting oxygien rich waters, called H2O2, or ozone-plentiful waters, which have long been known as universal panacea.
You would likely know the work of Professor Masaru Emoto? The man who revealed through macro-photographic evidence that crystal formations in water, (your drinking or bathing water,) become more defined and the more healthful when you speak kindly to the water. That’s why the mighty torrent, the River Ganges, is virtually pollution free, despite the regularity of a man or a buffalo floating down it, dead.
Nearly a billion Hindus pray to the life-giving river everyday. and that’s why its waters are among the purest in the world.
It’s also the reason that I speak lovingly to my Jameson’s, of an evening.
Stigmata is a real medical phenomenon and its production is generated psychically, like the oriental sadhus and fakirs, who can manipulate their internal systems in all sorts of ways, elevate or lower blood pressure, repress sensations of pain, control body temperature and so forth.
Exorcists like Malachi Martin and numerous others report that the demonically possessed people can pull off all manners of seeming miracles, like popping text on their skin but these are preternatural rather than supernatural events, probably due to the possessor’s knowledge of corporal systems and ability to finely manipulate muscles, internal as well as external ones.
So, if someone is sufficiently motivated, they can manufacture “stigmata” anywhere, foreheads, backside and armpits.
Padre Pio’s stigmata are both real and irrelevant.
What is relevant to me, reading these comments is how self-righteous are the atheists in rubbishing what they have neither clue nor interest in investigating at a more fundamental level.
Their universe arouse from a bunch of rocks banging together, creating sentience (and semi-sentience), like a bunch of discarded violins and trumpets in some attic spontaneously producing Beethoven’s 7th symphony.
No need for higher intervention.
Arrogant contempt beats humility of open minded inquiry, don’t it.
To the naysayers and criticizers and RC haters: This article isn’t really about Putin or VZ. It is a heads up. God isn’t going to put up with this nonsense much longer and will make it so we have a real “reset”–either miraculously or through human agency.
If you think religion is bunk, then disregard. It not, then get to work getting right with God–the real God, not some toy idol/straw man you have constructed for yourself–only to impugn. Time is running out.
independent tests were done with Padre Pio and he was not found to be a fraud
vatican also did tests but they are not to be taken seriously
what about the sleeping prophet Edgar cayce who said pretty well the same things
@Anyday/Nemmersdorf …
Furthermore on the subject of the stigmata.
Padre Pio worked them up in religious fervor and ecstasy in innocent belief that they were as depicted by countless artists over the centuries in paintings, murals and crucifixes in churches and crossroads throughout Europe.
They were all wrong, because they did not understand forensic anatomy like we do today, i.e., palms are too fragile to carry the weight of the body through those two points.
But does it occur to anyone that this provides a powerful support to the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin (Sindone)?
Because this object of eternal mystery, subtly mocking the presumptuousness of modern science, shows the spike wounds in the correct places, through the wrist, angled slightly upwards at exits, so that the act of raising himself by pulling his wrists down greatly increased the already excruciating (hmm, the etymology of “excruciate” …) agony in order to continue breathing.
And if I recall, at least one of the arms on this image shows dislocation at shoulder, because the transversal boards were manufactured with preset holes drilled in where the spikes had to go into, so that if the condemned unfortunate’s arms were too short, the executioners would simply dislocate them in order to stretch them to the perfect fit.
And the Shroud had it right, though good Padre did not know these things in his youth.
Ironically, even his ignorance only served to cement the mysterious provenance of the Shroud and the Gospels it confirms down to the minutest detail.
Lobro is exactly right on the Shroud and there are many more forensic details to add to that.
There was a bogus debunking in the 1980s that was nothing of the sort, but The Post Vatican 2 ‘Catholic Church’ affirmed it.
It is Woke and of the Devil, the post V2 Church – I was raised a Catholic and saw the process of ‘Modernist’ destruction from within at first hand.
@ lobro
“Arrogant contempt beats humility of open minded inquiry, don’t it.”
I’m afraid that it do, dear fellow, though, with regard to stigmata, I’m not sure what it is that you mean to say.
If stigmata of the palms are psychically-induced phenomena, predicated upon a historical misassumption, then what gives them validity as manifestations of religious devotion?
It’s not that I disagree with your premise (I’m a big Colin Wilson fan) but I wonder how you can extrapolate an authentically “mystical” experience from this? Unless, you accept the argument that all physical manifestations of devout faith are the product of some autonomic verve. I don’t think that you mean to say that, though.
Watch out for the feral cats, eh?
religious devotion is just another form of devotion, it neither validates nor invalidates religious dogma.
As far as I am concerned, I like Padre Pio’s face, it is a very kind one, in itself more convincing than the leaking wounds on hands, feet, forehead and chest.
I am worried that excessive antisemitism may grow my nose into the trademark overhang—must … not … dislike Jews … so much.
Feral cats … interesting that you would mention this, not sure in what connection but just a day or two ago I came across this somewhat unbalanced chap Louis Wain, a prolific illustrator of cats and in a bit of side research discovered that his troubled mind had the cats’ fear of owls down pat, because feral cats sometimes get grabbed by owls while both are prowling and hunting at night.
I wrote about what is wrong with Christianity, for Guy Reid-Brown, but it is not here, and I can’t find where I replied to him about some of my philosophy (as also happened when I replied to Two Rials, and on other occasion) . It is one of the reasons I often do not try to offer big understanding here
I like your face, Lobro. Even though I’ve never seen it.
I mentioned the feral cats because I had a weird visionary dream, in which you were attacked by an excited mob of ginger toms, who tore at your ankles, just as you were about to park up your motorcycle.
It’s strange how these things come to us. Maybe, if I concentrate hard enough, I could grow holes in the palms of my hands? I’ll have a try, anyway but if things go wrong, I’m blaming you,
Stigmata are not all rubbish–once, when I averaged about fifteen injuries at any one time, my four worst ones were in the middle of each foot and the middle of each hand, just painful aches like stress fractures, and I laughed when I noticed it was Easter
Spooky ethereal crosslinks, Anyday, indeed.
All my life I was a dog-man and had an aversion to cats, would break into uncontrollable sneezing and eyes watering at the first sight of them.
And now here, in the rural Thailand, I was indeed beset by wandering feral cats that came and went, including 4 lovely toms, 2 were ginger and all sadly gone, killed in fights, one traffic accident and one down to feline flu.
The last one, whom I named Brandon (obviously) was a prototype dude, a noble soul, brave fighter yet very kind to lesser ones, I totally fell in love and nuzzled him like a teddy bear, not a scintilla of allergic intolerance.
Went to Canada last summer much against my inclination to say hi to family, some of whom seem in transit off-world, hurried back eagerly to see all the dogs and cats that made my property their homestead.
And … Brandon was tragically gone, died of cat flu.
I just cannot get over it even 6 months later, I look somewhere and am painfully reminded how he used to lurk there and come happily bounding at me.
He could have been professor of true manhood for millions of tragically woke soyboys.
In Christ’s lap now, my St Ginger, no doubt.
