A quote from a priest who knew him.
I also really like this quote
>Luther believed he could speak directly with God. He was precipitated into Hell said Padre Pio.
Fr.Stefano Manelli in his weekly column Il Pensiero di Padre Pio,Pianeta Padre Pio, wrote that Padre Pio criticized those Christians who believe they can speak directly to God and receive instructions and do not have to submit to the authority of the pope.
This is also a dangerous road, writes Fr.Manelli, for Christians who believe they are in communion with God without his Vicar and the Catholic Church. They are mistaken and this is an illusion for them,as it is known, he writes, outside the church there is no salvation.
