Padre Pio<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nPadre Pio is a very recent Italian saint who is not only significant to Italians but also an interesting example to look at, since his activity took place so recently in history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Padre Pio was from the region Puglia in southern Italy. Many people who had committed very serious crimes or sins converted to religion after speaking with him, and Padre Pio became very popular for these conversions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Pope at the time sent Father Agnello, a priest who was also a qualified psychiatrist, to evaluate Padre Pio. Padre Agnello diagnosed Padre Pio as mentally unstable and attributed his popularity to being able to easily impress people who weren’t well educated and came from lower socio-economic backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Padre Pio was canonized in June 2002, by Pope John Paul II. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
