Mystics: Intro with Padre Pio the Problematic Stigmatic
Saint Podcast season 2 is all about mystics, saints who had transcendental experiences with the divine. Over ten episodes we'll meet the founder of a religious order who suffered from stigmata, the bloody wounds of Christ's crucifixion. We'll explore the legend of a nun who had fits of ecstatic joy - and could levitate. And we'll learn about saints who battled demons and fought the Devil through exorcisms. Tune in for the introduction to this season and the story of the mystical sufferings of the controversial priest and stigmatic, Padre Pio.
