Nuggets from Occult Invasion

The above involves classic occultism: the transformation of a statue into apparitions of Mary, Jesus, and other alleged saints accompanied by the bright light which the Bible associates with Satan. Whether Pio is in heaven or in hell, he is not free to appear on this earth. The Bible rejects the suggestion of such appearances even for a good purpose (Luke:16:27-31 [27] Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: [28] For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. [29] Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. [30] And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. [31] And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

That the person relating the story later “saw” Pio with Dorothy in her car as she drove away from Mass only adds to the demonic delusion. Yet such appearances are the authenticating factors that cause the Catholic hierarchy to vote a candidate into sainthood. The present Pope “became a spiritual son of Padre Pio at their first meeting in 1947,” and has visited Pio’s grave to pray there. In 1954, Pope Pius XII called Padre Pio “The Confessor of Europe.”
