Has anyone here actually heard of Saint Padre Pio? He's famous in Italy but everywhere else but I don't know anybody else who's heard of him. The only reason I'm asking this is because I wanted to start a new topic and this is all I could think of.

It's not spam, it's just all I could think of. But, more importantly...have you heard of him???

No I haven't heard of him. Perhaps you could provide some information about why he's famous in Italy?

Francesco Forgione (born in Pietrelcina, Italy on May 25, 1887 – died in San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy on September 23, 1968), canonized Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, was an Italian priest. He took the name Pio when he joined the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. After his ordination to the priesthood he was very popularly known as Padre Pio.SourceHe acquired fame as a miracle worker and like Saint John Vianney, was purported to have the gift of reading souls.
Is Google great or what?
