On June 14, 1921, a priest knocks at the convent in San Giovanni Rotondo.
Also included are letters from his spiritual father and a chronology of his life..
In his depositions, he admits, Under oath, to the phenomenon of bi-location and to other supernatural charisms, and for the first time tells the detailed story of his stigmatization.
Now, forty years after the saint\'s death, these exceptional documents are published in their entirety, thanks to the skillful research of Father Francesco Castelli.
The documents in this book reveal every aspect of Padre Pio\'s life from his amazing supernatural gifts to his health.
He sends his report and the depositions to Rome, where they stay buried for nearly a century.
After gathering all the evidence, the Inquisitor sketches his own evaluation of Padre Pio, which includes his reasons for believing that the stigmata are of divine origin.
He also interviews Padre Pio himself and examins the mysterious wounds of Christ that he bears on his body.
The Bishop Inquisitor remains with the Capuchin Brothers for eight days, interrogating and recording depositions.
He is Bishop Raffaello Carlo Rossi, future cardinal and the Apostolic Visitor sent by the Holy Office to secretly investigate Padre Pio.
He is in his early forties and wears a simple cassock, but he is no ordinary priest.
