Ignatius Press, 2011. 350 pages, $17.95 paperback

On June 14, 1921, a priest knocks at the convent in San Giovanni Rotondo. He is an apostolic visitor sent by the Holy Office to secretly investigate Padre Pio. The priest remains for eight days, recording depositions.

He interviews Padre Pio and examines his stigmata. His report stayed buried for nearly a century. Now, 40 years after the saint’s death, these exceptional documents are published. Under oath, Padre Pio admits to the phenomenon of bi-location and to other supernatural charisms.
