WEBVTT - Season 6 Episode 18 Extra: Reading the Signs

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Unexplained Extra with me Richard McClane Smith, where

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:17.840
<v Speaker 1>for the weeks in between episodes, we look at stories

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.640
<v Speaker 1>and ideas that, for one reason or other, didn't make

0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:24.800
<v Speaker 1>it into the previous show. In last week's episode, Tears

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Idle Tears, we heard the strange tale of the Immaculate

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Heart of Mary sculpture, which some believe cried real tears

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 1>over the course of four intense days in the town

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 1>of Syracusa in Sicily in nineteen fifty three. Throughout the years,

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>many have claimed to witness similar religious artifacts engaged in

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 1>equally miraculous behavior, to the point where it might almost

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 1>seem commonplace. The Weeping Madonna of Syracusa, however, remains the

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>only such artifact to formally recognized by the Catholic Church.

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.759
<v Speaker 1>In terms of the genre we might call the strange

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 1>and unexplained. With regards to stories that have a particularly

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>religious angle, I find tales of crying inanimate objects to

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.319
<v Speaker 1>be at the more interesting end of the scale. But

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 1>if we're looking for something a little more shocking, few

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>apparent miraculous occurrences can compare to the claimed phenomena of stigmata.

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.960
<v Speaker 1>For something so well known it's interesting that apparent cases

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.759
<v Speaker 1>of stigmata, the sudden appearance of wounds on an individual

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>mimicking those that are said to have been endured by

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ during his alleged crucifixion, are in fact few

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:49.160
<v Speaker 1>and far between. It is said that Saint Francis of

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Assisi was the first person to endure such a thing,

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>having apparently been marked by the stigmata at the end

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>of a forty day fast he conducted in the year

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 1>twelve twenty four. Since then, only about thirty or so

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>people have seriously claimed to have suffered from it, and

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>perhaps the most famous of them all was a man

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 1>born into a humble farming family in eighteen eighty seven.

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 1>His name was Francesco for Joni, or as he would

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 1>later be known, Padre Pio. One morning in May nineteen

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.799
<v Speaker 1>twenty one, a letter sent from the Holy Office of

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:42.279
<v Speaker 1>the Vatican arrived at the episcopal residence of newly installed

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:48.679
<v Speaker 1>Bishop of Voltaire RAPHAELI Rossi. The Holy Office, formerly known

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>as the Roman Inquisition, was the department of the Catholic

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Church tasked with, among other things, preserving Catholic doctrine and

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 1>assessing accusations against members of the clergy to determine whether

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>they should face disciplinary action or not, and it was

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 1>regarding this latter responsibility that the forty four year old

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Bishop Rossi had been contacted. As the letter went on

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to explain, it had come to the Vatican's attention that

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Capuchin priest Padre Pio, who resided at Our Lady of

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Grace Friary in San Giovanni Rotondo in Foggia, southern Italy,

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>was claiming to be suffering from stigmata. These stigmata wounds

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>were so substantial that you could see right through them.

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>It was all said to have started back in nineteen eighteen,

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and as word had grown about the apparent miracle, large

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>numbers of religious devotees had begun flocking to Padre Pio's

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>town to hear him talk and conduct confession with him.

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Since then, the church had received a number of complaints

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>from Po's colleagues, accusing him of fabricating the whole thing.

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>To his supporters, Po was also a mystic who had

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the power of healing, and also by location, the supposed

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>ability to be in two places at the same time.

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>With things threatening to get out of hand, the church

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.359
<v Speaker 1>had no option but to conduct a formal investigation of

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>the apparent miracle, and it would fall to Bishop Rossi

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:42.040
<v Speaker 1>to carry out the arduous task. Arrived at the Friary

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>in San Giovannia, Rotondo on June fourteenth, nineteen twenty one,

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.719
<v Speaker 1>and asked immediately to meet with Padre po. As he

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>later noted, Rossi's first impressions of Po were that he

0:04:55.880 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 1>was extremely pale, with a slight suffering disposition, but was

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.599
<v Speaker 1>none the less sweet and solemn, with an expression of

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 1>goodness and sincerity in his face. His hands he kept

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>hidden under a pair of fingerless gloves. Over the next

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>few days, Brosci conducted a series of interviews with Pio

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 1>and slowly began to piece together the story of his life.

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Padre Pio was born Francesco for Joni in the city

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 1>of Pietro China in southern Italy in May eighteen eighty seven,

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>as one of eight children. Pio said that from the

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:40.760
<v Speaker 1>age of five he experienced terrifying visions of God and

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 1>the devil, and decided soon after to dedicate his life

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.720
<v Speaker 1>to God. Through the teachings of Saint Francis of Assisi.

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 1>To that end, despite no formal schooling In nineteen o three,

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 1>at the age of fifteen, he joined the Capuchin Order

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 1>of Monks, an offshoot of the better known Franciscan Order,

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>who believed their way of life better reflects the austerity

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:12.440
<v Speaker 1>and simplicity that Saint Francis had originally envisaged. After seven

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:16.480
<v Speaker 1>years of dedication to the order, Pio was ordained as

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:21.160
<v Speaker 1>a priest, and four days after that, according to him,

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 1>was when the first marks of stigmatyr appeared on his body.

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 1>They appeared first as a single spot on the palm

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>of his hand that throbb'd with pain beforefore other marks emerged,

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>first on his other hand, then his feet, and finally

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 1>on the left side of his chest, the place where

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ was said to have been stabbed by a

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 1>spear after his death on the cross. Although the marks

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 1>eventually disappeared, the pain did not. As Padre Pio insisted

0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>to Bishop Rossy, he was so embarroedt to be blessed

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 1>by such an occurrence that he first decided to try

0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 1>and keep it all a secret, But then the marks

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>came back. With the outbreak of World War One, Patre

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Pio was conscripted into the army, but eventually discharged due

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>to the ill health he'd suffered most of his life,

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>mainly from a persistent bronchitis and kidney trouble. Then, in

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eighteen, Pope Benedict the fifteenth encouraged people to pray

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>for an end to the war, and so, as Padre

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Pio explained to Bishop Rossi as he tugged herself consciously

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>at his fingerless gloves, he did except not only did

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 1>he pray, but he offered himself up as a sacrifice too.

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:59.679
<v Speaker 1>A few days later, after celebrating mass, Pio was singing

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 1>with a quire when he had a vision. A near

0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 1>naked man was stood before him, with his arms stretched

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 1>out wide as though he were being crucified, and his hands, feet,

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 1>and side dripping with blood. It was unmistakably Jesus Christ.

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 1>As Po stared on in amazement, the vision of Christ

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 1>asked him to share in his pain and join him

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 1>in his unyielding concern for the salvation of others, and

0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Padre Pio agreed. When the vision ended, Po felt a

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>pain in his hands and saw that his palms were

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>dripping with blood. Then he felt the pain in his

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:48.920
<v Speaker 1>feet and sighed too, and saw that they also were bleeding.

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>From that day forward, he said the wounds had not healed.

0:08:56.280 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 1>At Bishop Rossi's request, Padre Po then pulled back one

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:06.319
<v Speaker 1>of his fingerless gloves. As Rossi recorded later, the priest

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>appeared to be in some pain as he revealed the

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 1>strange wound underneath a scab roughly two centimeters a cross

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>that seemed to cling to the material of the glove

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>as he removed it. Then Po showed him the wounds

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>on his feet. These, according to Bishop Rossy, were more

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 1>like sores that were in the process of healing, almost

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:34.560
<v Speaker 1>to the point of no longer being visible. When asked

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:38.520
<v Speaker 1>why this was so, Po claimed simply that they often

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>seemed to be about to disappear, only to suddenly grow

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 1>red and bloody again. Then, finally, Padre Pio removed his

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 1>undershirt to reveal a clear, wine colored mark in the

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 1>shape of a triangle in his left side that looked

0:09:55.679 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>to have bled recently. Bishop Rossy spent a total of

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 1>eight days observing Padre Pio and talking to his colleagues

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 1>to get a sense of his character. All was said

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.960
<v Speaker 1>to have described the man as a much respected and

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>genuine devotee to his religion. And no one had a

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 1>bad word to say about him, Having himself found Padre

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Pio to be generally polite and eminently believable, Bishop Rossy

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>informed the Vatican's Holy Office that it was impossible to

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 1>deny that the stigmatr wounds were genuine. Some had claimed

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 1>that Padre Pio was simply making the marks himself with

0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:44.840
<v Speaker 1>carbolic acid and then aggravating them to prevent them from healing.

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Bishop Rossy, however, concluded that no such fraud was taking place,

0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.840
<v Speaker 1>and that ultimately, as he said, there seemed to be

0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:57.599
<v Speaker 1>enough reason to lean toward the presence of the supernatural

0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.680
<v Speaker 1>with regard to the marks. As to whether they truly

0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:14.079
<v Speaker 1>were supernatural, however, he couldn't say. Despite Bishop Rossy's assessment,

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 1>With the Vatican unable to decide exactly what to make

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 1>of Padre po it was decided to err on the

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 1>side of caution and ban him from conducting Mass and confession.

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Such was the strength of public opposition to this decision. However,

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:36.440
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen thirty three, with po Stigmatyr still seemingly going strong,

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Pope Pious eleven was forced to overturn the ban. Throughout

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:46.200
<v Speaker 1>his lifetime, po Is said to have healed hundreds of people,

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 1>not limited to the apparent restoring of sight and curing

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 1>of cancer, while tales of his apparent ability to appear

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>in two places at the same time were also numerous.

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 1>With the Vatican tacit endorsement of Padre Pio's apparent stigmata

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:08.920
<v Speaker 1>and mystical abilities, his fame and popularity grew so much

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 1>that he was forced to make his time a ticketed event.

0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Over five million people are said to have sought confession

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>with him before his eventual death on September twenty third,

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>nineteen sixty eight, with his stigmata being said to have

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 1>lasted fifty years, although the question of whether this stigmata

0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:34.439
<v Speaker 1>had been real or not was never formally resolved. The

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Catholic Church agreed to have Padre Pio canonized on account

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 1>of his dedication to the Church and its followers, and

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 1>so in twenty seven Padre Pio became Saint Pio of Pietrol, China.

0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 1>The same year that Padre Pio was Canoni, Italian historian

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Sergio Luzzato finally went public with some startling information that

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:11.679
<v Speaker 1>he'd been sitting on for some time back in twenty

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:15.440
<v Speaker 1>oh one, while researching a book about the apparently long

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:20.160
<v Speaker 1>suffering priest Luzato, came across a box in the Vatican's

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:26.600
<v Speaker 1>archives full of documents relating to his various dealings. Among them,

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:30.959
<v Speaker 1>he found a small, faded letter written from Padre Pio

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:35.520
<v Speaker 1>to one of his devotees, Maria de Vito, who just

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 1>so happened to be the cousin of a pharmacist. In

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the letter, Padre Pio asked de Vito if she could

0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:48.240
<v Speaker 1>have her cousin supply him with three hundred grams of

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 1>carbolic acid, imploring her to keep the request a complete

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 1>secret and not to let any of his fellow brothers

0:13:56.160 --> 0:14:00.440
<v Speaker 1>know about it. This letter seemed to all but firm

0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the accusation that Padre Pio had inflicted the wounds on

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 1>himself after all. In addition to this, there is another

0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:14.480
<v Speaker 1>interesting aspect of Pio's apparent stigmata in relation to its

0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:19.440
<v Speaker 1>possible legitimacy, that is rarely remarked upon. It's a common

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 1>claim among supposed recipients of stigmata that two of the

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 1>wounds appear in the palms of their hands. According to

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:32.240
<v Speaker 1>many historians, however, this is a false depiction of the

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 1>actual wounds of crucifixion. It is widely considered that most

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.240
<v Speaker 1>victims of it would not have been nailed through the

0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 1>palm of their hands, but rather through the radius and uner,

0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 1>the two bones in the forearm that join the hand

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 1>at the wrist, pinning the victim. This way is thought

0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 1>to have been crucial in order for the arms to

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 1>be able to support the weight of the body. This

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 1>technique is also thought to have been used so the

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 1>nails could be driven through the median nerve to inflict

0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:10.200
<v Speaker 1>maxim and pain. If Jesus Christ was indeed a real

0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 1>person who was crucified, it is highly likely that this

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 1>is the true manner in which it would have happened.

0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>And one thing is for sure. If that was the

0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:26.120
<v Speaker 1>pain that Padre Pio had been tasked with enduring for

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:30.920
<v Speaker 1>fifty years while also being able to successfully carry out

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:35.880
<v Speaker 1>all his theological duties, that truly would have been a miracle.
