AFTER 50 YEARS OF DEMISE, FR. PIO'S BODY HAS REFUSED TO DECOMPOSE.

St. Padre Pio's 50-Year-Old Corpse Is Paraded Through The Streets Of Rome

A 50-year-old corpse was paraded through the streets of Rome on Saturday, cheered on by thousands of onlookers who took pictures of the dead body as it made its way to the Vatican.

The mortal remains of Catholic monk Saint Pio da Pietralcina, which were exhumed in 2008, were taken to St Peter’s Basilica to be blessed by Pope Francis, part of a celebration for the Catholic jubilee.

Speaking over the corpse on Saturday, Francis called Pio a "servant of mercy."

"He did so full-time, practicing, at times in exhaustion, the apostolate of listening,” the pontiff reflected.

Pio's bearded form, which is usually interred in San Giovanni Rotondo in the south of the country, has become a tourist attraction for the Foggia region, drawing more than a million visitors annually.

The corpse is held in such high regard due to claims that before death the monk was able to cure the sick. He was also said to have received visions and suffered stigmata -- bleeding from the hands mimicking the wounds of Christ. Pio could also tell the future and be in two places at once.

The monk died in 1968 at the age of 81. He was beatified in 1999, and canonised in 2002 by Pope John Paul II. Pio's body is to go on display in the Vatican in a climate controlled crystal coffin until Feb. 11. A second dead body, that of Croatian Leopold Mandic, who died in 1942, will also be available for viewing at the Basilica.

Nothing is special about this...
A dead body put in the morgue with adequate preservation will neither smell nor decay.

Incredible. St. Padre Pio, pray for us!

Is it everything they tell sheeple they will just accept like that? They showed you pictures and you just accept it like that? Reminds me of what Cuenca said many many years ago:

Lishius 16: 15-16
15. And cuenca said, if this Krista whom they profess is more of a tool of deception than of truth, why then did he have to die at all?
16. For the deception in the name of this supposed son of god is already more than the truth.

Christi ele e son

wow wow wow...beautiful

he is havin such a calm nd peaceful face,more like hez takin a nap or something.....

LOL. Religious idiots on nairaland. All religion no God. No morality. No piety. No intelligence.

Someone put a well chemically preserved body into an airtight casket and shows it off and idiots flock to it like vermin. Put that body in an open casket and watch it decay in months. Clowns

Also how are we to know if that's the actual body or just some secret Catholic shenanigans to keep people still believing in them. Someone could have made a lifesized replica of the saint and parade it as the body of the man himself and there's no way to find out. Because airtight casket.

You are a compound fool. SO you dont know how a body can be preserved for thousands of years.

Your education was a total waste

Some things just aggravate someone. Chris Angel has performed more miraculous things that he later showed how he achieved it. Then just this petty hoax and an educated person will act as if this is undeniable proof.
