If Padre ain't happy, ain't nobody happy

Either way, Padre Pio isn't happy. If the statue shedding tears of blood is for real, it's a cautionary sign; and if it's something phony, then somebody is in big trouble.

People should know: you just don't cross Padre Pio. After all, this was a saint who occasionally read the souls of his penitents and reminded them of sins they'd forgotten to confess. In one case, some gangster went to test him and was expelled from the confessional with a shout of "Pig!" That's one way of obtaining their conversion!

What? Who?

On life and living in communion with the Catholic Church.
