Shia LaBeouf as Padre Pio
Padre Pio is an Italian Saint who is known for his miracles. The Catholic Church knew him as Saint Pio of Pietrelcina. This Capuchin Priest was known for his care of the ill and suffering. His shrine in San Giovanni Rotondo became a pilgrimage site for devotees. In many chapels associated with him, Some menthol oil was being sold for its healing properties. I don’t think FDA approves them, but many of his believers buy those bottled oils. They believe it works, but they are just menthol oil for me. Highly devoted Catholics, though, really believe these relic oils work, but I am skeptical. It has been 55 years since Padre Pio died, but his body remains intact. He doesn’t look like those dried-up mummies from Egypt, Peru, China, and the Canary Islands. Padre Pio’s body still looks fresh. It looks like he is just sleeping. It is why many of his devotees believe he is a holy saint. Abel Ferrara who is known for the movie Siberia, directs and
