Padre Pio was apparently faking his stigmata by pouring carbolic acid on his hands, according to historian Sergio Luzzatto.

A document found in the Vatican archive reveals how the “saint” (lol) was secretly getting the acid from a pharmacist:

“I was an admirer of Padre Pio and I met him for the first time on 31 July 1919,” wrote Maria De Vito.
She claimed to have spent a month with the priest in the southern town of San Giovanni Rotondo, seeing him often.

“Padre Pio called me to him in complete secrecy and telling me not to tell his fellow brothers, he gave me personally an empty bottle, and asked if I would act as a chauffeur to transport it back from Foggia to San Giovanni Rotondo with four grams of pure carbolic acid.

“He explained that the acid was for disinfecting syringes for injections. He also asked for other things, such as Valda pastilles.”

As expected, the Catholic Church immediately dismissed the news and said Mr. Luzzatto is a “liar” and was “spreading anti-Catholic libels”.

I personally think they are right.
Not only Padre Pio’s stigmata is real, but he was also able to transform into a werewolf and shoot lightning bolts from his eyes.
I saw him once kicking Batman’s ass, too.
I swear, its true.
