Wounds of Wonder: The Divine, the Damned, and the Body That Bleeds
Can belief leave a mark on the body?
In this episode of The Bizarre AF, we explore stigmata—the mysterious wounds said to mirror Christ’s crucifixion. From the divine visions of St. Francis of Assisi to the controversy around Padre Pio, we dive into the Catholic Church’s stance, the canonization process, and what Roman crucifixions really looked like.
We also explore modern psychology: how trauma and deep empathy can physically manifest through conditions like conversion disorder and mirror-touch synesthesia.
Is stigmata a miracle… or the body’s way of telling a sacred story?

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,280
listening to the bizarre AFA
place where we talk about the
3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,360
strange, the unusual, the
unknown, and all things bizarre.
4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,760
AFI am Alicia, your Hostess for

we ask that you keep an open
mind.
6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,840
Keep a skeptical ear, but keep

00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,760
we take you on our newest
journey.
8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,280
Wounds of wonder, the divine,
the damned, and the body that
9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:01:01,110
bleeds.
Well hello Kevin, my Co host
10
00:01:01,110 --> 00:01:03,150
with the most How are you
darling?
11
00:01:03,150 --> 00:01:03,870
I'm doing.
Great.
12
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,440
Today, how are you doing?
I'm.
13
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,560
Doing good.
Good, I'm doing good.
14
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,080
You're looking a little saintly,
I feel.
15
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,400
Yeah, what is that I?
Don't know like like like maybe
16
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,040
you could you could go through
canonization.
17
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,520
Hilarious.
Yeah, you did not.
18
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,120
You clearly did not grow up
Catholic.
19
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,040
Near.
No, you were, you were
20
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,160
definitely Christian, right?
You grew up kind of well, but
21
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,400
also you did automatic writing
Presbyterian.
22
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,040
Yeah.
Presbyterian only because my
23
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,960
friend.
Yeah, that's right.
24
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,560
What's Presbyterian?
And Presbyterian is probably one
25
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,800
of the more mild versions.
I would I would say they're
26
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,080
known, as I've said this before,
they're known as the the nerds
27
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,040
of the Bibles.
They really like dig into the
28
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,520
history and the culture that was
going on at the time and what
29
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:55,080
these like different aspects of
Aramaic, what actually meant.
30
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,840
So so you're looking at the
breakdown of words.
31
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,280
You're you're really nerding out
for sure, which is way better
32
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,640
than like, I don't know,
something where people might be
33
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,720
speaking in tongues, especially
if you were not like, you know
34
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,320
exactly.
But Cat, have you been to a
35
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,440
Catholic, a church I.
Have, you know, I went to, I
36
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,760
went when I was in the military,
I was in basic training.
37
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,800
And you know, it's, I don't want
to say traumatic, but like, it's
38
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,360
a shock, right?
And so.
39
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,480
Oh yeah.
And being in basic training.
40
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,720
Yeah, and then you get into your
tech school after you go basic
41
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,280
training to learn your trade and
you're just trying to find, I
42
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,360
don't know, you need comfort of
some sort.
43
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,600
You don't get to speak to your
family in in basic training.
44
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:39,160
I said once, I think maybe we
did.
45
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,200
And some friends that I had made
in my squad of them were very
46
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,680
Catholic.
And I'm like, OK, well, I'm
47
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,520
gonna go.
I'll go go try it.
48
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,120
Sure.
Right.
49
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:47,640
Sure.
Why not?
50
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:49,480
I like these people.
Maybe I'll like that.
51
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:55,320
Yeah, exactly.
And I realized licks are a very
52
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,320
symbolic, like there's lots of
rituals and lots of things.
53
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,480
Wow, this is intense.
And they seem very strict, I
54
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,080
guess is the one.
I don't know what the word is,
55
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,880
but.
They might like they might like
56
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,800
you to call them devout.
Sure, right, But strict is a
57
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,440
great is another like great term
for it.
58
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,480
If you went gone to mass, they
like stand up, they sit down,
59
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,040
they say things.
I remember I sat next to a
60
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,800
friend and I was like, what are
you saying?
61
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,800
And she's like, I don't know.
She's like, let me go back
62
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,240
through it.
It's also memorized like those
63
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,200
the different rituals and
ceremonies are so memorized that
64
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,680
you don't you kind of lose,
lose.
65
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,640
It's become so rote that
everything like loses any kind
66
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:37,240
of purpose or you forget what
the words actually mean because
67
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,200
you said so many times, right,
Which kind of goes into what
68
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,400
we're going to talk about today.
You know, there are really
69
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,600
stories, ancient, strange,
sacred, where faith becomes
70
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,440
flesh ultimately, where
invisible, invisible pain can
71
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,480
quite literally RIP open, spin a
skin, and where devotion isn't
72
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,440
just heartfelt, it's hand, foot,
side felt.
73
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,640
This is the in the realm of
stigmata, that's what we're
74
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:03,680
talking about.
Yeah.
75
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,560
So they're wounds that mirror
the crucifixion of Christ.
76
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,000
What we're going to kind of
explore today is like, are these
77
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,280
miracles?
Are they manifestations of
78
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,120
trauma?
Are they, you know, mimicking
79
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,040
somehow your brains like
mimicking something.
80
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,320
And really, we're going to be
exploring 1 of Catholicism's
81
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,520
most confounding mysteries is
stigmata.
82
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,400
And we're going to kind of trace
it from, like, medieval Italy to
83
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:35,960
the Vatican archives today and
from modern medical journals to
84
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,000
stories of people that were so
empathetic that they bleed when
85
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,760
other people suffer.
So maybe we'll learn a little
86
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,320
something about how belief kind
of lives in the body.
87
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,960
Is it possible?
And and back to what we were
88
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:57,120
saying before about how powerful
the mind is to the extent that
89
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,680
there's things we haven't even.
Touched even touched the
90
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,000
surface.
Yeah, yeah.
91
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,280
I mean, we were talking about,
you know, a few podcasts ago,
92
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,240
superhumans, superpowers are
these exactly.
93
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,320
Is that is that maybe a form of
stigma or religious like
94
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,680
devotion?
So one thing that I was, you
95
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,040
know, really wanting to touch on
was, OK, how the hell did the
96
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,880
like, what do the cat, what does
the Catholic Church think of it?
97
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,880
I mean, this could be either an
amazing PR, you know, move for
98
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,800
the Catholic Church, right?
Or it could very easily
99
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,920
backfire, right?
Like this person's just fucking
100
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,440
crazy, right?
So the Catholic Church does not
101
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,360
officially endorse every claim
of stigmata.
102
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,840
And actually the Catholic
Church, I'm sure that you've
103
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:43,120
seen it like at least in the
exorcist, you know, you have to
104
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,800
have like an entire body coming
through and saying like, does
105
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,960
this person actually need to be
exercised?
106
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,480
Like is there a demon there or
is this potentially
107
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,480
psychological?
One would think now today we
108
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,960
have more of a stringent
following and the Catholic
109
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,760
Church would one thing that I
thought was kind of crazy about
110
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,280
that is you have you have the
Catholic Church that would
111
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,320
greatly benefit from from this
PR.
112
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,280
You know of my God, look at the
look at the hands of this father
113
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,200
donate to the Catholic Church
today.
114
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,440
You know, sure, but they are
very skeptical and it might
115
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,200
surprise you, especially like
when some people like Saint
116
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,480
Francis of Assisi, which we'll
talk about or Padre Pio Pio,
117
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,320
they're they are canonized
Saints.
118
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,040
Like we were talking before.
These people are are normal
119
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,080
people that used to be working
for the church as you know,
120
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,520
priests.
They were canonized and moved to
121
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,120
sainthood.
So this is actually how the
122
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,120
church approaches stigmata and
evaluating it.
123
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,480
So the first one, the first
thing that they look for is they
124
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,000
signs of self infliction did
this person is this clearly.
125
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:48,960
Stabbed their hands.
Yeah.
126
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,760
And has it healed over?
Does it seem like it's, you
127
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,160
know, it's something that they
actually did themselves?
128
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,280
The wounds must appear
spontaneously and resist natural
129
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:02,080
healing.
So if they're with Padre Pio or
130
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,920
with you and you start getting
stigmata, you start seeing like
131
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,160
natural healing.
Well, you probably did that.
132
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,560
It was probably self-inflicted.
OK, hang on a second.
133
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,320
It's not healing normally.
So they say that if this is
134
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,640
God's work, I guess.
Yes, a miracle A.
135
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,880
Miracle and you start bleeding
from your hand, right?
136
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,160
Is that have to be that?
Doesn't have to be your hand, it
137
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,160
can also be from your foot.
Oh, your eye like crying blood
138
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,320
or something?
Crying blood.
139
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,080
There are very specific
stigmata.
140
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,000
Specifically is wounds of
Christ.
141
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,840
Christ well.
That has to be foot in hand,
142
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,200
right?
Oh, I guess.
143
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,480
Crap.
Side 'cause he was he was
144
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,520
pierced in the side by by Roman
soldiers at the.
145
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,800
End.
And so they're saying that if
146
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:49,000
that occurs, if it is a miracle,
then you wouldn't heal.
147
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,680
It would not just like all of a
sudden heal because here's the
148
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:52,760
thing.
How often do you have like a
149
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,200
bruise on You're you know,
you're like, oh shit, I have a
150
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,240
bruise on my leg.
Like, how did that happen?
151
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,880
You know, yeah, like that
happens often for me.
152
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:00,960
I'm like.
Where did that come from?
153
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,280
Yeah, where'd that come from?
Or like, huh, Did I take my iron
154
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,360
supplement?
So it could be something as
155
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,520
simple as that.
You cut.
156
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,400
OK, You cut yourself on the hand
or whatever.
157
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,240
Maybe we're sleepwalking, but
it's healing over.
158
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,240
For it to be a true stigmatic
situation, they have to appear
159
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,280
spontaneously.
OK, so there was nothing before
160
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,000
it.
Just suddenly it's just there
161
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,400
and it's resisting natural
healing, Right?
162
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,880
And the first one was no signs
of self infliction.
163
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,240
So it can't be, it can't be
something that looks like he
164
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,120
clearly did it to himself or
they clearly did to themselves.
165
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,039
The third criteria is that the
recipient must display extreme
166
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:40,880
humility, piety, and have no
desire for fame.
167
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,840
OK, sure.
Which makes sense.
168
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,280
Makes sense, right?
You're humble like Christ.
169
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,480
This is a God-given thing.
God would not give this.
170
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,600
I guess gift.
Is this a gift?
171
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,440
I don't.
Right recognition.
172
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,000
Attention.
Attention, right, Because I
173
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,720
mean, think about, think about
like the stereotypical teenager,
174
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,160
don't understand me, I'm going
to become a goth, you know, and
175
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,240
like, you know, but they're not
looking for any kind of fame.
176
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,960
They're not looking for monetary
gain or anything.
177
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,760
These are just people who have
the wounds have shown up.
178
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,640
Yeah.
And they're not trying to get
179
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,840
anything out of it.
Sure, they just can't explain
180
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:14,200
it.
Yep.
181
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,680
Okay.
The 4th criteria is behavior
182
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:20,920
must remain psychologically
stable and virtuous.
183
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,120
Makes complete sense, right?
Right.
184
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,520
So over time they have to just
keep kind of checking I guess
185
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,240
and they determine that their
behavior is staying consistent.
186
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,000
They're not like.
Like going crazy, yeah.
187
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,440
Yeah, yeah.
This person's like
188
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,520
psychologically balanced, yeah,
which is like makes a ton of
189
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,080
sense, right.
You want to make sure if if if
190
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,000
someone seemed to.
Because, you know, people can
191
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,160
fall off the deep end.
Hey, how I've felt like I've
192
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,560
almost fallen off the fucking
deep end.
193
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,920
You can be normal one day and
then all of a sudden you, you
194
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,560
know, are depressed or you're
manic or whatever.
195
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:57,400
So they can't have any signs of
that, right.
196
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:01,000
Yeah, they're super stable.
So the majority of the reported
197
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,240
cases that come to the Catholic
Church are dismissed, right?
198
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,080
The Catholic Church does.
Explain it in some form or
199
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,920
fashion or one of those things
don't apply.
200
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,560
Yeah, Yeah, they have.
They have like kind of like an
201
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:16,160
investigative team that goes and
like looks to see, are these
202
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,160
miracles like genuine miracles
or is this person just like full
203
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,360
of shit and crazy?
Yeah.
204
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,480
So a lot of the the stories that
they have are, you know, quietly
205
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,920
dismissed.
You never hear about them.
206
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,640
They or they're, you can label
them with something like, for
207
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,480
instance, psychological, right?
This person is clearly in a form
208
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,560
of mania, a religious idol,
idolization, and they think
209
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:42,360
they're the Christ.
In reality, they might have some
210
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,960
kind of mental illness.
Sure.
211
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,240
So because most of these
reported cases are dismissed or,
212
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,280
or labeled as psychological or
fraudulent, right?
213
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,360
It's just a fraud trying to get
money in some place like small
214
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,160
town and have have people come
because here's another thing.
215
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,480
When these people come out, like
we'll talk about Padre Pio,
216
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:04,640
people will go looking and
searching for a miracle.
217
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,160
They are like dying of cancer.
And if you're, if you are on
218
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,400
your deathbed or your child's on
your deathbed or your loved ones
219
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,840
on your deathbed and you're
like, I need you to pray over
220
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,680
this holy water.
It's going to somehow heal them.
221
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,960
They're looking for anything.
You're grasping for straws.
222
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,280
So people are coming with money
to these small places to try to
223
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,120
get a prayer, a look in that
same direction there.
224
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,040
You know, it's people who are up
against it.
225
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,120
And there's a lot, a lot of
money that could potentially be
226
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,880
made.
So it would make sense that if
227
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,880
it is ruled as, you know,
fraudulent, well, OK, that's
228
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,760
clearly not God.
But if it's not, if they meet
229
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,000
all the criteria, then we have a
miracle.
230
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,720
OK.
So if we have a miracle from the
231
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,280
Catholic Church and you have
someone who like Padre Pio or
232
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,160
Saint Francis of Assisi, well
then what happens?
233
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,840
They're both now Saints, So how?
Right, right.
234
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,160
So this is a miraculous thing by
God.
235
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,960
So that Saints you.
It has the potential to Saint
236
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,240
you.
And that was one of the things
237
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,240
that I was thinking about.
I'm like, well, you know, like
238
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,840
we were saying, Catholics are
pretty strict.
239
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,160
They have very specific rules.
What would he?
240
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,920
What would even look like for
them to be canonized?
241
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,920
Ultimately, it's not just
miracles in order to be a St.
242
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:25,720
it's about being a martyr,
having virtue, and during the
243
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:30,680
impact of a holy life's.
Ultimately your reaching out to
244
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:32,680
the poor like feeding the
hungry.
245
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,640
Things one would expect a St. to
do.
246
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:37,080
Exactly so you're a servant of
God.
247
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,960
Yeah, you're venerable.
Which the Vatican actually can
248
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,400
declare whether or not someone
has had heroic virtue like
249
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,840
through this they they also look
at these potential Saints
250
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,400
reputation where they they
actually like doing some shady
251
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,560
shit on the side if they weren't
OK, let's continue down.
252
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:56,240
They can be be beautified be
aid.
253
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,800
Oh God, I'd kill myself later
beatified.
254
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:02,000
I know that you're listening and
you're like, this is how you say
255
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,880
Alicia, it's so stupid.
Well, guess what?
256
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,600
I don't know right now, but but
what basically what that means
257
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,960
is that it's a one verified
miracle.
258
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:15,640
So each one of these Saints have
had one miracle that has
259
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,880
BeenVerified.
It's not necessarily stigmatic,
260
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,840
but it can be okay.
It's usually some kind of
261
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,200
healing to.
Themself or.
262
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,960
Others.
That they've like anointed on
263
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,800
others, yes.
Okay, yeah, so when you think
264
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,960
about I, I always used to watch
Unsolved Mysteries and there
265
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,880
there were people who would
like, Oh my gosh, I went to see
266
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,720
Padre Pio and.
Healed me.
267
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,480
He healed me, I was blind and
now I see.
268
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,600
Sure.
OK, got it.
269
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,440
So they are, you know, it's just
through like the act of, you
270
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,400
know, basically God blessing you
and you're, you're acting as.
271
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,400
Yes, the vessel.
The vessel for God's current?
272
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,760
Sure.
So a second miracle confirms
273
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,760
sainthood unless they were
martyred.
274
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,720
So if someone was killed in the
name of like religion or you
275
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,880
know, killed for God but you did
1 miracle, then you could become
276
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,280
canonized, you could become a
St.
277
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,120
OK right?
But if you did the 1:00 and
278
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,280
you're still alive.
You're still alive.
279
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,840
You're still like, yeah, you
haven't done enough.
280
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,440
We need to we.
Need like another miracle, yeah.
281
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,000
We need proof, but I mean, it
would make sense or else you'd
282
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,200
have a million Saints, which
actually they kind of do have,
283
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,080
but you know, still like, you
know, we try to limit it.
284
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,840
Sure, like I said before,
stigmata, we would need that
285
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,800
second miracle to confirm that
sainthood in order to become a
286
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,520
St.
So stigmata is definitely not
287
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,840
required.
And honestly, in modern times,
288
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,440
like today with the Saints that
happen, it's actually barely
289
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,560
even considered proof of
anything divine.
290
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,800
It's really seen more as a sign
to look further into that
291
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,800
person, so to investigate
sainthood, rather than like,
292
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,560
okay, here you go, here's a
miracle.
293
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,200
It's like, no, no, that's not
they.
294
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,920
Healed somebody and then got
stigmata Ed right.
295
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,880
That would be kind of like a
confirmation or that's still
296
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,440
today not enough.
Well, they would have to at
297
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,960
least heal two people to be
considered a St.
298
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,000
But what if they first got
Stigmodid?
299
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,400
So we're going to start calling
it.
300
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,720
What if they first started
getting Stigmodid?
301
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,680
Well, if they first got
Stigmodid, then it's like a
302
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,240
beacon of light.
Oh, hey, there's something up.
303
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,000
God is doing something here.
So we need to go and like
304
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,800
investigate that person and see
if we can find a miracle.
305
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,040
What is a miracle?
We don't even need to go into
306
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:42,480
that question.
So the first stigmatic Saint we
307
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,120
talked about right before Saint
Francis of Assisi.
308
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,960
So he was really loved for many
things.
309
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,000
You've probably seen Saint
Francis.
310
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,200
It's just like 18 hundreds
1900s.
311
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,840
It was like 12 hundreds. 1200s
OK.
312
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,000
Yeah, back in we're.
Good all ways back.
313
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,440
But he's a favorite for a lot of
people, OK, because he loved
314
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,960
animals.
He took a vow of poverty and he
315
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,600
had a poetic joy and suffering.
So he was he was kind of like
316
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,360
the emo.
I I like to think of him as like
317
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,800
the emo in his feelings.
A St. which Catholics don't kill
318
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:15,520
me.
Come on.
319
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,840
Like I'm just having fun with
it.
320
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,480
You're welcome, but.
Some reason I don't think we
321
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,560
have a lot of Catholic
listeners, but that's just me
322
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,360
guessing.
If you are, I would love to know
323
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,320
is Saint Francis one of your
favorites?
324
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,880
I know that they were as a kid
and it's because he was like, he
325
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,600
was like the animal.
Like if you had, if you really
326
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,920
loved your, your like your dog
or your pets, or if or if your
327
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,480
pet ran away, you would pray to
Saint Francis to have him help
328
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,480
find.
So he's like, he's the they have
329
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,000
like patron Saints for different
things and he's like the animal.
330
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,680
OK, so in 12 at 24, something
happened that forever changed
331
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,400
his story ultimately, and it
really kind of started the story
332
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,240
of Catholic mysticism.
So he was praying in solitude on
333
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,360
Mount Laverna when he saw a
serif, which is a six winged
334
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,640
Angel.
Look it up, it's scary as hell.
335
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,520
That sounds scary.
Yeah, it's definitely not
336
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,599
something you want to be seeing
when you're praying alone, you
337
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,680
know, on a on a freaking
mountain.
338
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:19,319
OK, so he sees A6 winged Angel
with the crucified Christ, like
339
00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:22,920
with Christ on a cross
superimposed on it, right?
340
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,520
So it's like.
On the 6th.
341
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:28,880
On the 6th wing Angel, OK, it's
it's 1224.
342
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,160
We do have not seen projections
of shit.
343
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,040
Like the closest thing that
we've seen of a projection is a
344
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,960
fucking rainbow or shadow.
Like that's that's it.
345
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,240
Like so you see that on this six
winged Angel.
346
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,800
But remember, he's a priest, so
he knows.
347
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,680
I'm sure he's a learned
individual.
348
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,400
He knows, he knows that this is
a seraph.
349
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,880
And then he sees Christ like on
the cross.
350
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:54,360
After the vision ended, Francis
discovered open wounds in his
351
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:58,520
hands, his feet and his side.
OK, lining up.
352
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,760
Right.
So these actually bled, but they
353
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,440
didn't fester their end in
12/24.
354
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,480
I mean, they didn't have
antibiotics, didn't have like,
355
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,800
they had like, like salves and
stuff made out of everything was
356
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,360
very, very dirty, Right, Right.
His wounds were not pussing up
357
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,480
and, you know, getting infected.
And according to his followers,
358
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,240
they remained fresh until his
death two years later.
359
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,640
Wow.
So he had, he had the whole
360
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,920
thing.
Everywhere for a while.
361
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,000
Yeah, yeah, he was just, he was
just dripping.
362
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:29,520
He was really like his drip was
on.
363
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,720
So whatever on fleek.
I don't know what the fuck they
364
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,360
say now, but so he had those
wounds on his hands, feet and
365
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:38,200
his side.
Because if you don't know, Jesus
366
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,120
was crucified side.
So they crucified him on a
367
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:43,880
cross, His arms were out, feet
down.
368
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,960
And then to confirm that he was
dead, a soldier then pierced his
369
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,800
side.
And that's in the Bible.
370
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,200
That's like the story.
So there was historic
371
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,560
documentation.
Thomas of Solano, which was a he
372
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,400
was a Friar and a biographer
actually wrote about it soon
373
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,560
after Francis, St.
Francis of Assisi's death and
374
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:06,160
then Pope Alexander the 5th or
the 4th confirmed the event in
375
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,240
1255.
OK, so his body was then
376
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,640
inspected after he had died,
after Saint Francis had died,
377
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,680
they looked at his body and they
didn't find anything that could
378
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,760
point to how these wounds were
created and why they weren't
379
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,320
healing.
So Saint Francis's stigmata
380
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,520
really kind of set the spiritual
bar where stigmata is concerned.
381
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:31,280
He is like really the first one.
I'm the first stigmata guy and
382
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,240
the idea is like he had such
intense devotion to Jesus that
383
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,520
his soul and his body really
joined with Christ.
384
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,520
Suffering now.
Okay, I have a couple of issues
385
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,720
with Saint Francis.
One remember this was back and
386
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,960
okay, 12/24 was when he had his
vision.
387
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,600
Two years later, 12/26 is around
when he died.
388
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:56,320
Soon after his death is when
Thomas of Solano, the Friar and
389
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:01,120
the biographer, writes about his
stigma, Francis stigmata.
390
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:07,200
And then in 1255, Pope Alexander
says, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
391
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,160
know this happened and I can
confirm it.
392
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:14,120
So this was like 30 years later,
the 31 years later that the Pope
393
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:15,560
is like, yeah, yeah, no, this
is.
394
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,440
Legit, he did have stigmata.
OK, was he the Pope the whole
395
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,680
time?
That's the question.
396
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:21,960
I have no idea.
I don't know.
397
00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:25,800
And why now?
Exactly exactly what, why now?
398
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,720
Why two years after it's like
kind of muddies the water Like
399
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,960
is this legit?
Why are we saying that he did
400
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,840
have like the stigmata was not
written anywhere else.
401
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,080
Was it a lie?
Was it The Who knows who knows?
402
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,600
I, I just think it's really
weird that you don't hear
403
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,200
anything about it.
Before 12/26 we would think that
404
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,720
there would be something because
by the way, these are all like
405
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,760
monks or, you know, learned
people.
406
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,200
These are intelligent people who
know how to write and read.
407
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,800
And that's a lot of what they
fucking did.
408
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,160
And you know.
Yeah, they wrote and read.
409
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,400
Yeah, that's yes.
And probably did some other
410
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,040
shit, but like, but that was
like that's like their thing,
411
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,440
right?
So you would think there'd be
412
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,360
more information about that,
Francis Yes.
413
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,840
It just kind of, I don't know.
Especially such a miracle.
414
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,480
I mean, yeah.
I mean, this is like we have top
415
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,840
notch like this is like the
thing.
416
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,880
Yeah, yeah, this is this is like
a bizarre AF story.
417
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,720
We are bro God, Jesus.
That is our life.
418
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,920
OK?
We've devoted our entire world
419
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,320
to this, right?
This proves God's love or God's,
420
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,440
you know, potential reality.
I.
421
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,520
Think this would be everywhere.
You would think it would be,
422
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,720
yeah.
And it wasn't so, I don't know,
423
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,880
just kind of like, so we were
talking, I brought up Padre Pio
424
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:47,440
because he is like the newest
version of stigmata that we like
425
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,640
as well known.
And now he's canonized.
426
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,360
He's a St.
Really the question here that I
427
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:56,360
have is like, since we, since
this is a pretty recent story,
428
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,600
how recent?
He was born in 1887 and died in
429
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,320
1968.
So so he.
430
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,920
Pretty like, we have pictures of
him.
431
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,760
We, we know a lot more about
this guy, right?
432
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:13,240
Well, pretty relatively new 700
years later from Saint Francis
433
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,400
of Assisi, right?
We're back in the 1200s.
434
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,960
Now we're in 1918, Like I said.
An Italian Friar named Padre Pio
435
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,000
reported a sudden pain in his
hands and feet during prayer.
436
00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:26,720
OK.
Soon after, blood appeared.
437
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,400
Then it was matching on his
hands Christ's crucifixion.
438
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:37,640
So for the next 50, Padre Pio's
stigmata bled continuously.
439
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,520
Holy SH what?
That's awful.
440
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:40,720
Yeah, you can see pictures of
it.
441
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,840
Like there are pictures of him
in various stages of life with
442
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,960
his stigmata out.
Like there are some like where
443
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,760
he's like the.
Hands wrapped, I wonder.
444
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,240
He did, yeah.
He had cutesy little gloves
445
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:51,680
like.
Like what is he like?
446
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,640
Was it literally?
Bleeding or like you'll OK, so
447
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,680
you'll see it like if you look
online, which you know, you can
448
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,840
Google, but I I can show you
like some pictures right now you
449
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:08,080
can see the pictures of him and
he is there are like some images
450
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,160
where he has the stigmata.
You can see that it's like in
451
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,640
his hand.
Hand is, it's like an.
452
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,880
Open wound, right?
Like his palm, his whole palm is
453
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:18,840
bloody.
Yeah.
454
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,040
And then him as like a younger
guy and you can kind of see
455
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:22,960
that.
OK.
456
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,840
Right.
I know, I know it adds question.
457
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,040
There are a lot of questions.
But he did have like a cutesy
458
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,000
pair of like fingerless gloves
that he would wear.
459
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,360
Yeah, look at that.
Which actually I do like those.
460
00:23:32,360 --> 00:23:34,760
I I get it.
I would definitely wear them.
461
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,800
What a stylish way to take the
stigmata.
462
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,040
Just in case you're grossing
people out during community, you
463
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:42,640
know, don't.
Wanna look at the hole in your?
464
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,760
Hand you don't wanna look at the
hole in your hand and like don't
465
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,760
really want to get like some of
my blood and like put all over
466
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,600
it.
OK, so, so for the next 50
467
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,160
years, like I said, his hands
were he was bleeding
468
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,560
continuously and not just in his
hands like everywhere, thousands
469
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,520
of people like from all over the
world, Catholics came to see
470
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,960
him.
His he performed masses, right?
471
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,120
Like that's sure he was the head
of the church and they would
472
00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:08,720
have mass on Sundays, he would
perform masses and they were jam
473
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,440
packed.
Well of course, because in their
474
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,560
mind, isn't Jesus coming through
him?
475
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,800
Like he literally embodies a
real life Jesus, right?
476
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,080
Isn't that the idea?
The Yeah, the.
477
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:24,120
God is coming through him.
He is he is but a vessel, but a
478
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:29,760
vessel for for God's like God's
power and strength.
479
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,680
So like, why would which makes a
lot of sense to me.
480
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,440
Like I think about it, I'm like,
if I am a person that is up
481
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,680
against it, I have weeks to live
left and this guy has stigmata.
482
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,720
I'm a devout Catholic.
Oh my God.
483
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,320
Well, of course you're going to
go there.
484
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,280
Of course.
Like hopefully I can have him
485
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,920
pray over me maybe.
Touch me.
486
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:49,760
Whatever.
Yeah.
487
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,520
And maybe his prayers, you know,
are stronger than mine because
488
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,080
there is like that, you know,
that notion in Catholicism.
489
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:02,280
It's like, you know, you confess
your sins to a a priest and a
490
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,760
priest tells you how to the
blood of Christ is not enough.
491
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,680
It is, you know, by praying
different prayers and tell like,
492
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,720
like you, you have to confess.
So it would make sense that
493
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,680
through a religious man, through
your priest, they would be able
494
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,440
to.
Absolve you or heal you or.
495
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,480
Exactly.
Heal you.
496
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,560
You're it's not enough for you
to pray.
497
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,120
If he's praying, he's got the
stigmata.
498
00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:26,160
I mean, come on, God.
'S this is like that man.
499
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,080
He's the man.
Yeah, exactly.
500
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,080
He's the vessel.
So, you know, people continue to
501
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,560
just like, go, you know, to his
masses and they are claiming
502
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,840
extraordinary things, right?
They would say things like, you
503
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,480
know, Padre Pio, like healed me
from blindness or from this
504
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,000
cancer.
And people would go just
505
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,280
specifically to see him.
Also at the time, there were
506
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,720
wars that were going on, OK?
Like there are wars in Italy.
507
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:57,000
People were looking for any kind
of, you know, purpose, miracle,
508
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,040
hope, hope.
Exactly.
509
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,600
So this guy who has stigmata, of
course you're going to go to him
510
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,280
and try to get healed or or even
just be around someone who seems
511
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,320
holy.
So even if he wasn't holding
512
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,040
masses, hundreds of people would
still go to just to get a
513
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,680
glimpse of him or see him.
So there are people that were
514
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:22,080
close to Padre Pio that claimed
not just stigmata was his gift
515
00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:24,480
from God.
OK, so those close to him
516
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,720
actually attested that he began
to manifest many spiritual
517
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,160
gifts.
OK, the gift of healing.
518
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,520
We already know that.
We already kind of talk.
519
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,320
People have already said that
yes bio.
520
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,760
Location.
Bio location?
521
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,520
What the fuck is that?
It's where a person is located
522
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,920
or appears to be located in two
different places.
523
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,480
So I might be here right now,
but then I'm also.
524
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,320
Also in some other place, yes,
healing people.
525
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:53,880
Healing people or like telling
people God is with you or like
526
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,680
pray this or whatever.
So kind of a cultish, but this
527
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,520
is something that we've seen in
like Greek.
528
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,800
This was like Greek mysticism.
This is like kind of has that.
529
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,600
So people close to him said, Oh
yeah, yeah, no, he it wasn't
530
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,040
just yelling.
He could buy a locate.
531
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,440
They also said that he could
levitate.
532
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,280
They he would prophecy like he
would.
533
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,960
He would, you know, tell the
future.
534
00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:20,440
OK.
We talked about the miracle.
535
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,480
So miracles.
These are miracles, right?
536
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,920
There was an extraordinary
abstinence that he had from both
537
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,960
sleep.
So he didn't sleep very much at
538
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,040
all and he did not eat very
much.
539
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,640
There was actually one account
that's one of the Padres
540
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:37,960
recorded, which Pio was able to
subsist on for at least 20 days
541
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,520
without any nourishment.
And this was around the Holy
542
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,280
Eucharist, which is interesting.
They also said he had the
543
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,280
ability to read hearts so he
could read like what people's
544
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,200
intentions were or what it was
that they needed.
545
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,120
And the gift of tongues, which
we had briefly kind of gone
546
00:27:52,120 --> 00:27:53,640
over.
Gift of tongues is when people
547
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,480
are talking, the idea is they're
talking in a different.
548
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,560
And that's the the language of
God, right?
549
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,320
Or that's the voice of God or
something like.
550
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,760
That language of God, the
language of the angels or even
551
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,920
like an an very old, like maybe
Aramaic that people will speak
552
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,240
in.
These are ancient, ancient
553
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,520
languages.
They said, yeah, he could
554
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:16,360
actually speak in tongues and
was able to convert a lot of
555
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,320
people.
Of course, you know, they're
556
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,040
coming.
They're coming there.
557
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,480
But they also said his wounds,
these wounds in his hands, they
558
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,160
smelled pleasant.
Yeah, which is interesting.
559
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,200
There wasn't festering.
It did not smell like blood.
560
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:34,120
It smelled like nice.
Yeah, I OK, I want to say so
561
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:36,040
many things.
So as all this stuff is
562
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,080
happening, right?
Like there's, he becomes
563
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,200
incredibly well known.
You know, he died in the 1960s,
564
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,520
this guy.
And this is like when you know,
565
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:48,360
photography, being able to get
movies and you know, pictures to
566
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,360
people all over the world.
So it's like perfect timing for
567
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,560
something like this to happen.
He actually became a spiritual
568
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,960
director and developed 5 rules
for spiritual growth.
569
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,920
So these were his rules, which
is interesting.
570
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,560
Weekly confession, daily
communion, daily communion.
571
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,200
I don't know if you've ever
taken communion.
572
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,680
No, Yeah.
I mean, so I grew up
573
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,600
Presbyterian like you.
Catholics quite honestly believe
574
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,440
that the blood and the body of
Christ like that way for that
575
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,400
they're taking and the, and the
wine that that is quite
576
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,960
literally it becomes it is
Jesus's blood.
577
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,840
That's what they believe.
And you have to confess and do
578
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,280
make sure that you're, you know,
doing the right things before
579
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,400
you can actually take Christ's
blood and like this sacrifice
580
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,200
the sacrament.
So there are like rules,
581
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,560
whatever.
I mean, come on.
582
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,120
Like you have to, you have to
confess daily in order to be OK
583
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,560
spiritually or weekly and
confess weekly.
584
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,760
I have daily communion.
You have to have spiritual
585
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,360
readings, meditation and an
examination for conscience.
586
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,000
So that's like his like whole
fucking spiel ordeal.
587
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,320
And and this, OK, this exam like
what?
588
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,480
Who does that that like your
priest, The examination, the
589
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,720
last one, the.
Self examination, self
590
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,480
examination.
So it's which actually is kind
591
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,960
of, I mean we like if your.
Perspective.
592
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,720
Yeah, yeah.
Like, look at yourself.
593
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,480
Are you a good person?
Like, what could you change?
594
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,920
We should all probably do
something along those lines.
595
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,040
OK, got.
It right.
596
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,040
So the idea like, you know, I
just wanted to talk a little bit
597
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,560
about like him, but his stigmata
actually really set the
598
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,400
spiritual bar because his
devotion was so intense and we
599
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,680
had photographic and like visual
proof that we could now show the
600
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,840
world, right.
The Catholic Church could right
601
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,640
as you close your eyes and roll
roll your all those eyes in the
602
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:34,040
back of your head.
It's so funny, like I can like
603
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,760
all of my emotions and my I wear
everything in my face.
604
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,920
Like I can't hide anything.
No, you can't.
605
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,200
Which I love it because then I
know but.
606
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,240
You know exactly what I'm
thinking.
607
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,480
I.
Know exactly what you're
608
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,040
thinking and I'm like OK now I
have to play up this final so
609
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,160
you know he his devotion was so
the idea was his devotion was so
610
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,480
intense his soul and his body
once again like Saint Francis of
611
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,880
Assisi, you know joined with
Christ suffering.
612
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,280
So Padre Pio really like, has
this big name.
613
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,640
People are, are, you know,
asking questions, visiting him.
614
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,960
So the Vatican's like, OK, we
need to figure this out.
615
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,240
This is a Franciscan monk.
And Franciscan monks are like,
616
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,200
you know, you think of those
guys with like the not
617
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,040
loincloth, but like those like,
like basically brown.
618
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,720
Yeah, Roby things.
Roby things that are like basic
619
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,960
and that's that's a Franciscan
monk and the Franciscan monks
620
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,080
have very specific rules.
You live a life of poverty and
621
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,920
help people ultimately.
So the Vatican's like
622
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,520
something's happening here, we
need to go and see what's going
623
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,520
on because we're getting a lot
of attention and don't know if
624
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,000
it's good attention.
They actually banned him from
625
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,360
doing Mass publicly.
The church starts banning him.
626
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,240
Yeah, they're.
Doing this you need to stop we
627
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,120
we cannot have you do like do
mass like these this.
628
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,760
Is too out of control.
They think it's getting too
629
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,160
crazy.
Getting too crazy.
630
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,000
And we also need to investigate
this to see if it's legit or
631
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,080
not.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
632
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,800
Right.
So in some letters that he had
633
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,320
from 1920, you can see this on
like, Unsolved Mysteries too.
634
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,720
You can see that Padre Pio is
ordering carbolic acid.
635
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,680
OK, OK.
This starts raising some
636
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,200
accusation.
What is it?
637
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,720
It's it's like a kind of like a
paste.
638
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,320
You can create a paste that it's
acid, it's acid, right?
639
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,160
So it's not like it's not.
Do we know what it's used for?
640
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,920
Like what is it's ultimate
purpose?
641
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:23,040
Let's look it up.
OK, so you're so this they find
642
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,080
out that he's ordering this acid
and you're saying they
643
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,520
determined that you can use it
to make some sort of a paste.
644
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,560
It's, I mean, OK, so it's highly
poisonous.
645
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,800
So this was, this was a carbolic
acid that is that was ordered
646
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,920
from the pharmacy, OK.
OK.
647
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,440
In dilute solutions it's been
used as a disinfectant and an
648
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,560
antiseptic.
Okay.
649
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,440
It's like one of the key
ingredients for a lot of
650
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,680
industrial processes.
Okay, so.
651
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,360
But he's able to order this
somehow.
652
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,200
He's able to order it from the
pharmacy.
653
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,760
Okay, they find record of this.
Okay, now here's here's the
654
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,920
question is like, did he use it
on his hands?
655
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,000
Well, what is it?
Why you can use it?
656
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,280
So, so it's like a disinfectant.
So like if you if you like was.
657
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,240
He maybe trying to disinfect his
holes.
658
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,040
Could it could have been could
have been he could have been he
659
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,320
could have been putting it on to
cause because because if you
660
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,160
don't dilute it.
It could like, you know, it
661
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,600
could have caused his hand to
bleed.
662
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,920
Those pictures, his whole palm,
it was bloody.
663
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,960
Now I'm sorry, if you had
stigmata it would be a hole in
664
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,040
your hand that would be bleeding
down.
665
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,960
Like why is your hole just your
whole palm bloody?
666
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,360
It's a good question.
It was.
667
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:33,880
It looked weird to me.
It did look, really.
668
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,760
It looked weird.
It I mean, the picture on the
669
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,200
picture that we looked at, it
wasn't like the best quality.
670
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,800
No, no, but you could see his
whole palm was red.
671
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,440
It was the width and almost
height of his.
672
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:45,560
Palm.
Entire palm.
673
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,320
So yeah.
Or you were to take that acid
674
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,920
and rub it on your hand.
If it starts eating your hand,
675
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,480
that would make sense.
What would also be interesting
676
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,320
is, but did you see anything on
his fingers?
677
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,400
I didn't see anything, any
finger, anything on his fingers
678
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,880
like showing that.
There was getting eaten.
679
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,120
Yeah, Yeah, no.
Just on his palms.
680
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,680
He used a paintbrush.
He could have used a paintbrush.
681
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,120
Yeah, but but like I said, like
if you don't dilute it, it will
682
00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:09,280
eat away.
It's an acid.
683
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,719
It'll eat away your skin.
Which makes sense, he wouldn't
684
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,159
have used his finger.
Right.
685
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:14,840
That's very true.
Yeah, Yeah.
686
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,320
You're you're going to use a
paintbrush or something to apply
687
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:18,320
it?
Potentially, yeah.
688
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,360
OK, so this reason raises
questions.
689
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,000
A question, right?
Yeah, we're sitting here like
690
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,880
saying, OK, in 1920 you can go
back and see that he did order
691
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,320
some and he could have caused
those wounds himself like we
692
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,600
were saying, OK, brush the.
Theory, yes.
693
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,840
Doctors at the time are actually
divided and some said that the
694
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,840
wounds defied explanation.
And other people, Other doctors
695
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:43,600
at the time said this is clearly
a dermatological trauma, OK.
696
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,480
This is clearly just a skin
trauma.
697
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,719
There is this is a skin wound.
It's not going into the, you
698
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,320
know.
Which would make which would
699
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,679
align with the acid.
Right, right.
700
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,920
And potentially had further
question as to whether or not
701
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,760
this is a God-given thing,
because if it's only the skin,
702
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,480
you would think that it would
like penetrate a little bit
703
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,040
more, right?
Or it wouldn't just look like a
704
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,200
burn.
Like a serious burn Right
705
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,120
question.
Yes, why would I would say
706
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:14,800
that's what in my mind, if this
is truly an act of God, it would
707
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,400
it would be what I would picture
to be the same wound of Christ.
708
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,160
Right, Yeah, yes.
And you know, I mean, people do
709
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,080
crazy shit, right?
Like, oh, no doubt.
710
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:26,240
So like, would you create this
trauma?
711
00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:27,240
Maybe.
Yes.
712
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,000
It could be because you're so
devout and you're like, I want
713
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,520
to have like some kind of
feeling like like I am Christ.
714
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,440
I live my entire life.
I want to have this pain.
715
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,360
Do I create it myself?
Do I lie about like there are?
716
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:38,560
Talk himself.
He could.
717
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,240
You could talk yourself out of
thinking.
718
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:42,600
You're lying too, by the way.
Absolutely.
719
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:43,600
Yeah.
You're so devout.
720
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,840
So devout.
Yeah, this is this is your own
721
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,600
eternal salvation we're talking
about.
722
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,000
Yeah, he could think.
He's not being mischievous, Yes.
723
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,240
Well, and while he was alive the
whole time, the Catholic Church
724
00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:58,200
is doing these investigations.
These investigations don't end
725
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,120
with his death, OK?
They're continuing to look into
726
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,560
everything.
Was this real?
727
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,960
Was this not real?
Like, what is the legitimacy
728
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,600
here?
During his life, Padre Pio still
729
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,840
living a life of poverty,
helping, doing all the things
730
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,920
that he had to do, right?
As a Friar, as a Franciscan
731
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:18,480
monk, his devotion never wavered
and nor did the people who went
732
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,720
to visit him, right?
For these miracles, he was
733
00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:24,800
canonized organized in 2002.
Really.
734
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,040
Really.
There's still debate though.
735
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,760
Well.
Clearly did he The church was
736
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,720
convinced, yes.
Otherwise they wouldn't have
737
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:35,120
done it right.
And remember, we, they have like
738
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,600
criteria.
We, we went over a basic
739
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,840
criteria.
I mean, the criteria probably is
740
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,240
much more storied and they
probably have specific accounts
741
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:45,520
or accounts and interviews and
stuff.
742
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:50,360
But this was, you know, close to
40 years after or, yeah, over
743
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,600
like 40 years after he had died,
right, That they finally
744
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,480
canonize him and have enough
information to say, yeah, that's
745
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,600
exactly what happened.
Really.
746
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,880
The the debate still swirls.
People still call him a grifter.
747
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,000
They still say, you know, he did
this himself.
748
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,360
This was his own inner torment.
People will have psychological
749
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,560
issues or like, you know, inner
self hatred and like, cut
750
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,240
themselves or like do self harm.
Maybe he had his own inner
751
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,800
torment.
That's what some people say.
752
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,840
Other people say that he's just
a grifter.
753
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,680
But some people, I really
believe that he, he was a, you
754
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,200
know, truly blessed by God.
One thing I was thinking about
755
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:29,440
when we were doing this, I knew
because I was raised as a
756
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,280
Presbyterian art of the Bible.
Just do.
757
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:38,160
Do these wounds actually depict
what Christ's crucifixion would
758
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,920
have looked like like
historically if we go from a
759
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,840
historic context?
OK.
760
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,520
Are these correct wounds?
Right.
761
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,520
Do they line up?
I know the answer to this, but
762
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,600
what really did happen to Jesus?
I'm going to tell you.
763
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,200
So the crucifixion itself, you
know, normally we see like in
764
00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:00,560
the the Catholic Church, a lot
of churches, you know, you see
765
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,040
the nail through the palm of the
hand.
766
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,440
Yeah.
Now if you are on a cross and
767
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:11,080
these like crucifixion deaths,
like public, public deaths were
768
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,840
legit.
These happened all the time.
769
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,160
And it was really oftentimes
too.
770
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,360
These types of these
crucifixions were commonplace.
771
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,600
Weren't necessarily commonplace,
but they would happen,
772
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,920
especially if you needed to make
a case for like, don't be this
773
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:25,920
asshole.
Yeah.
774
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,440
Yeah, like.
It's not like this was an
775
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,440
original death method.
Crucifixions.
776
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,040
Crucifixions were a death
method.
777
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,520
You know they weren't.
Is this what?
778
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,040
Jesus's crucifixion wasn't a
unique death.
779
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,040
Method it was not right no this
happened historically you can
780
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,360
eat there is historic
documentation for this yeah
781
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,440
legitimate sources so like I
said you see it through the
782
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,400
palms through the feet yes the
palms if you had someone on some
783
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,040
wood it would not hold someone's
weight because you remember
784
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,360
people did not die straight away
when they were crucified it was
785
00:38:58,360 --> 00:38:59,240
like.
Yeah, why would you?
786
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,120
No, no, no, it was, it was a
very slow death.
787
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,640
And really, that when, and I was
talking about the spear to the
788
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,840
side, that Jesus had that wound,
yeah, that's really seen as a
789
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,000
mercy to someone.
To just end it yeah, but didn't
790
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,080
they they didn't tie him as him
up.
791
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,120
I just made an assumption that
if you're.
792
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,880
Tying someone up, it would take
hours, days to fucking die.
793
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,600
No, but I mean the nails aren't
holding your hands up, but the
794
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,520
ropes would be.
The ropes but but still like how
795
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,760
long are are the ropes like
you're dead weight, you are
796
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,480
dead, you can't.
You are dead weight.
797
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:34,920
Yeah.
So you are dead weight.
798
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,880
How long is that actually going
to even like they have to when
799
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,080
they're if they put it through
the palm specifically, yes, then
800
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,600
your hand is just like the nail
goes through the hand.
801
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,000
Yeah, it's not like it's going
to stay perfectly.
802
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,720
And you're still catched, right?
But then you have use of your
803
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:52,600
arms and your hands, Yeah, even
if you're still tied onto the
804
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,160
onto the cross like you're
still, you have use of your
805
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,800
hand.
Provided that you came loose
806
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,120
from the nails, right?
Yes.
807
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,560
So they would never actually put
a nail through a hand.
808
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,360
They would actually put it.
The Roman crucifixion was likely
809
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,600
through the wrists that they
would put the spikes through.
810
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,400
Really.
Yeah, it's a much stronger.
811
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,880
Because of the two fever, the
whatever those.
812
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,800
Are.
Yeah, it's actually the radius
813
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,360
and ulna.
OK, so the feet were?
814
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:22,880
Junior high biology.
There we go.
815
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,680
The feet were actually nailed
either individually to the sides
816
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,440
or or stacked on top of each
other and then nailed through
817
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:32,480
the heel.
OK.
818
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,240
Sometimes there was a support
block at the bottom to prolong
819
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:38,640
the suffering.
So like I said before, this is
820
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,000
so gross.
It's so gross.
821
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,960
But like, this was a public.
This was like a warning.
822
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,320
Prove a point.
Exactly.
823
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,280
So there was actually a rare
archaeological find from 1968
824
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,560
where there was a crucified man
and they could confirm from this
825
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,720
crucified man that he did have
an ankle nailing.
826
00:40:55,720 --> 00:41:00,000
So his bones showed trauma which
were consistent with that spike
827
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,320
or nail being driven through
both feet like what we see in
828
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,040
with Jesus.
So his side wound, which was
829
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:11,040
described in John 1934 was
likely from, like I said, a
830
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,000
spear actually, or maybe a a
sword.
831
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,560
But they they say spear so it
would Pierce the lung or the
832
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,400
heart to to confirm death to
make sure the person was dead.
833
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,680
OK, so now that we know likely
the crucifixion was through the
834
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,320
wrist, the wrist, why are these
people having or showing their
835
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,440
hands having trauma?
Because that's what they've been
836
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:32,480
told.
Right.
837
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,520
Is it a fake?
Is it psychological?
838
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,040
I don't know, but I do think
it's a really good question to
839
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,600
ask.
Is this a psychological issue?
840
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,280
Stigmata.
So what if I actually told you
841
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,800
that some people don't need a
vision or a miracle to bleed?
842
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,320
The mind has so how much power
over the body, which we talked
843
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:51,480
about.
And sometimes, honestly, it's
844
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,360
devastating.
So there is a thing called
845
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,960
conversion disorder and it's a
functional and neurological
846
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,360
symptom disorder.
And this is where emotional
847
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:04,320
trauma causes paralysis,
seizures, blindness, and there's
848
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,880
no medical cause.
OK, so someone has.
849
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,720
I believe this, yes.
Which makes total sense.
850
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:11,920
Total sense.
Like people will wake up one day
851
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,360
and I can't.
I can't move.
852
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:14,800
See, I can't move.
Yeah.
853
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:19,720
And it is 100% because of the
trauma that they have endured.
854
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,080
And it's almost like a
protective mechanism, right,
855
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:24,960
that their brain has for them.
Actually, soldiers in World War
856
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:30,000
One often went shell shocked and
they were unable to walk despite
857
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,760
0 physical injury.
They were so and they, this was,
858
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,560
they called it, called it shell
shocked.
859
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,280
And the idea was like it was all
trench warfare.
860
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:41,600
This was the first war, like
industrial sized war that, you
861
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,840
know, we were around and these
people saw death around them all
862
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,480
the time.
There was mustard gas.
863
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,360
There was grenades being
launched.
864
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,240
This was not hand to hand combat
or battle anymore.
865
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,280
You're not looking your enemy in
the eye.
866
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,720
You're throwing something over,
you know, 20 feet in front of
867
00:42:58,720 --> 00:43:01,720
you and causing someone's death
and seeing the people right next
868
00:43:01,720 --> 00:43:03,480
to you die.
And so people would come back
869
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,200
from more shell shocked.
They couldn't walk.
870
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,280
They would, you know, cry.
Like you can see old footage on
871
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,320
YouTube of men who are shell
shocked, which is pretty fucking
872
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,880
crazy.
But through therapy, through,
873
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,280
you know, being around other
soldiers talking, I don't know
874
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,080
about the shit that you've seen.
People could eventually
875
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,320
sometimes come out of it.
Sometimes they never did, but
876
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,720
some people would.
So there's also something called
877
00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:30,840
like psychogenic bleeding, which
I had briefly touched on in the
878
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,320
intro to the podcast.
So this is actually rare cases
879
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:39,400
that have shown skin breaking
out in blood under intense
880
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,760
emotional stress.
And now this is typically
881
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,400
documented in people who are
suffering from an extreme grief
882
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,800
or religious fervor.
Gotcha.
883
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,160
You're right.
Probably because emotions are
884
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,000
can be equal.
Right, emotions can definitely
885
00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:55,360
be equal.
Like they talk about there is a,
886
00:43:55,720 --> 00:43:59,240
there's a syndrome that causes
your heart to it's basically
887
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:03,840
from grief and your heart will
stop working because you're so
888
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,000
heart like quite literally
heartbroken.
889
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,000
Your heart totally breaks and it
just stops working.
890
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:13,040
There is nothing physiologically
wrong with you, but it's like
891
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,480
your brain tells your your heart
to just stop.
892
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,960
You can't go any longer.
So some people do feel in
893
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,160
physical sensations when they
see other people being touched
894
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,520
or harmed.
I don't know if you've ever
895
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,520
watched like a scary movie movie
with someone.
896
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,520
And some people like, Oh, I
can't, I can't watch that.
897
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,640
Like it's too hard for me.
Oh, I feel like, I feel like I'm
898
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,000
going through that.
Some people will watch a movie
899
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,640
and never feel that empathetic,
you know, reaction, right?
900
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,320
For me, I like if it's a
suspense, I'm like, Oh my gosh,
901
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,200
I'm getting so hard right now.
Like like I, I start sweating
902
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,000
like it's, it's a lot.
I it's a huge deal.
903
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,280
But some people like they, it
physically harms them when they
904
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,760
watch horror movies.
They feel like they're going
905
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:55,200
through pain, right?
And it's really it's a subtype
906
00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:59,720
of extreme empathy, so they
receive real pain that is
907
00:44:59,720 --> 00:45:03,280
witnessed from suffering.
They actually did psychological
908
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,520
studies on this.
You can watch it on YouTube
909
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,240
where someone has a fake hand
arm.
910
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,560
On the with the wall, yes,
that's fascinating.
911
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,320
So fascinating.
So, so what's happening is like,
912
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,440
you have a divider and you have
a fake hand and a real hand or
913
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,240
the person's real arm, right?
And whatever's happening on the
914
00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:26,240
fake arm is also happening on
their arm.
915
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:28,800
Feel it?
So before they put up the
916
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,440
divider, they're doing the exact
same things.
917
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,320
Yeah.
They're moving a pen up and
918
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,280
down.
And they're watching them put
919
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,160
the pen up and down on the fake
arm while they're also doing it
920
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,360
on their arms.
So it looks like and feels like
921
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,880
it's happening to you on the
fake arm.
922
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:44,840
Yeah.
And then you have a divider,
923
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:46,440
right?
They know there's, that's a fake
924
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:51,240
arm, Yes, they're aware of it.
And then the person who's doing
925
00:45:51,240 --> 00:45:54,400
the, the scientist who's doing
the the actual thing grabs a
926
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,040
knife and stabs the.
And people say, I feel like that
927
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,680
was my arm.
I felt like you stabbed me in
928
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,960
the arm.
They will shriek in pain, yes,
929
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,960
because they like that's the
brain.
930
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,520
Yeah.
That's the brain.
931
00:46:08,240 --> 00:46:10,800
Like, yeah, that's the empathy.
So, you know, people like
932
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,280
there's like I said, people can
will do it like through being
933
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:15,880
hard, like they'll watch someone
who's being harmed.
934
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:17,960
They'll if you witness
suffering.
935
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:22,320
Now let's add in to that deep
religious belief.
936
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,480
Sure, OK.
Yeah, deep.
937
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,360
Deep we're talking, we are
talking people who quite
938
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:31,360
literally devote their entire
lives to this religion to this
939
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,520
purpose.
Layer on top of that trauma,
940
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,840
right?
The death of Christ.
941
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,040
We talked about it before it is
fucking traumatic just to even
942
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,280
talk about.
And if you're like being, you
943
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:45,360
have all this iconography around
you, and it's all like suffering
944
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,960
pain, you should be thinking,
you know, you have a lot of
945
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,440
guilt and trauma from that.
You're a monk.
946
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,400
You're a Franciscan priest.
You're isolated, right?
947
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:01,040
It is the perfect fucking storm
for the mind to produce sacred
948
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:02,120
wounds.
You could.
949
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:03,280
Yeah.
You could definitely do that,
950
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,880
right?
Of course I mean that yes, I can
951
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,120
see it.
It's not far fetched in my mind.
952
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,440
Not at all.
And there's there are books
953
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,960
today that you can read like for
instance, the body keeps the
954
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,040
score.
I would say everyone should you
955
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,320
can like listen to it for free.
An audio book body keeps the
956
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,000
score.
It's actually by doctor Bessel
957
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,240
Vanderkolk totally talks about
how trauma is stored within the
958
00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:26,120
body.
This is I don't know if have you
959
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:27,640
ever done trauma therapy or
anything like that.
960
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,880
No, I have.
And I will tell you there are
961
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,520
places in your body that you can
feel trauma.
962
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,640
And when it's it's released,
it's ridiculous.
963
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,800
Like think about people who get
like chiropractically, like
964
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,560
adjusted or a massage and it's
like, holy shit, that release,
965
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,360
instant relief.
It's instant relief.
966
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,000
Or people will start crying or
laughing.
967
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,400
Like I the first time I got a
chiropractic, like, you know,
968
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,480
adjustment, I started laughing.
It was the weirdest fucking
969
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,080
reaction.
Isn't that weird?
970
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:56,200
Yeah.
Yes.
971
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,400
I don't know why it's I maybe it
was like being scared or maybe
972
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,600
it was like releasing something
deep within me.
973
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,400
I, I don't know, but it's one of
those things that like your body
974
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,600
knows and your brain might not
be able to process it, but your
975
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,280
body does keep that score of
trauma or that experience that
976
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:16,920
you've had.
There are a ton of NHI or NIH
977
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,600
case reports on people who are
bleeding like it's like sweating
978
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:24,320
blood, like think of the, the
crown of thorns or whatever and
979
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,720
like Jesus.
So people will see that and like
980
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,640
be so empathetic, they will
start bleeding down their faces.
981
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,440
And, and I mean, they have a
disorder called conversion
982
00:48:33,720 --> 00:48:35,560
disorder.
People like we were talking
983
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:39,240
about synesthesia, right?
Like synesthesia where people
984
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,920
relate one thing that two things
that are seemingly not related,
985
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,960
you relate to it and it's it's
this feeling that you have.
986
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,240
So ultimately, like at the end
of this, I keep on thinking
987
00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:50,280
like, what is stigmata?
Is it?
988
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:51,520
What is it I?
Don't know.
989
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,840
Is it a divine imprint?
Is it a psychological phenomena?
990
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:59,160
Is it a strange kind of
psychosomatic cry for meaning?
991
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,520
Or maybe that's really just a
mirror and the answer kind of
992
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,960
depends on what you want to see.
No doubt.
993
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:06,440
When you look.
At it, no doubt.
994
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,640
No doubt.
All I can tell you is that the
995
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,360
line between what we know, what
we don't know, spirit and skin,
996
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,240
it's the way thinner.
And then we fucking think.
997
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:17,520
We talk about it all the time
from whether it comes from the
998
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,160
heavens, from the heart.
Stigmata is another case that
999
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,840
kind of reminds us that there
might be more to this fucking
1000
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,080
world than we think, right?
So.
1001
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,200
There's a lot of unknown, yeah.
That just proves that there's
1002
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:29,360
unknown.
Yeah.
1003
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:30,160
So weird.
So.
1004
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,000
Weird.
And hopefully, like, if you are
1005
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:33,880
like one of those really
empathetic people, hopefully you
1006
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,200
didn't start bleeding.
Oh my, you're watching that.
1007
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:37,240
Can you imagine?
Like.
1008
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,720
Hey starts sweated sweating
blood.
1009
00:49:39,720 --> 00:49:44,880
Thanks for bringing up stigmata.
Yeah, it's gosh.
1010
00:49:45,240 --> 00:49:47,720
That's crazy.
I mean, at first you think about
1011
00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:49,880
it, I kept on vacillating
between Padre Pio.
1012
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,160
I'm like, was he a grifter?
Like, could these people be
1013
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:53,200
grifters?
But and.
1014
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,840
Then you go, right?
Like, is he just so devout that
1015
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,200
he did it to himself?
Like, unbeknowingly.
1016
00:49:58,200 --> 00:49:59,920
Like, just, well, we'll never
know.
1017
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:05,040
We'll never know, but there are
reported cases of people who
1018
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,760
have been so empathetic and had
this like, like their brain has
1019
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,440
created wounds on their body,
whether it's through empathy,
1020
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,440
whether it's through trauma.
We don't know his specific
1021
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,760
history.
We don't know if that, you know,
1022
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:20,760
if he could have had a situation
from his childhood where he it
1023
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,360
just so happened to show up in
wounds on his hands and his feet
1024
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,160
and like, you know, whatever.
And, you know, and then people
1025
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,480
will talk about, and I've seen
this on TV where, you know,
1026
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,160
statues will start dripping
blood.
1027
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:30,760
Yes, yeah, we should,
definitely.
1028
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,640
Talk about that.
Or there's some Virgin Mary that
1029
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:34,760
cries blood or something like
that.
1030
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,120
Cries blood or oil or yeah.
Well, I mean, what's that about?
1031
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,640
I think this world is just,
there's so much more to it.
1032
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,920
The longer I live, the more and
more I realize, like, I have no
1033
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:46,680
fucking clue what's going on
here.
1034
00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:50,360
I don't understand a lot of
things and there are so many
1035
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,320
things that just don't fit the
boxes.
1036
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:58,200
We put the universe in and we
put this experience, this human
1037
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,520
experience in.
It's because we have to have,
1038
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,320
because for us to, I guess be,
you have to have an explanation
1039
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,080
for things, right?
And so then people create these
1040
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,400
boxes and whether it fits in the
box or not, you get it in the
1041
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,880
box.
Otherwise it's not in the box.
1042
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,920
Oh my God.
Yeah, I don't care if it's a
1043
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,360
square peg in a round hole,
we're gonna fucking jam it in.
1044
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,280
Yeah, it gives us it gives us
meaning.
1045
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,840
Or there is so much comfort in
answers and clear cut.
1046
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:23,840
Answers.
That's it.
1047
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:27,520
And like the idea of science,
science is physical.
1048
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,320
It's all physical proof.
It has to fit what we can see.
1049
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:35,640
We don't really like, we don't
really talk about other means of
1050
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,680
proof we don't talk about.
That exactly things that we, I
1051
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,440
don't want to sound all weird,
but on this plane or this
1052
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:46,000
dimension or whatever can
explain right there could be if
1053
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:50,520
what if it's what if there's
other things at play that don't
1054
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,840
fit into our world?
Then you can't explain it.
1055
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,120
And then that's when things get
weird.
1056
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:55,640
Yeah, then it just doesn't
exist.
1057
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,720
It's just like, nevermind, it
doesn't matter.
1058
00:51:57,720 --> 00:51:59,480
It's like, no bitch, it's still
happening.
1059
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,920
What the hell is this?
Right?
1060
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,600
Or it's labeled as like a
pseudoscience, right.
1061
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:08,880
The trauma being in the body, we
have had fucking proof of that
1062
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,360
for so long.
And when I've tried talking to
1063
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,720
people about the body Keeps the
Score, which is this book,
1064
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:15,400
people like, oh, I don't know if
I believe that.
1065
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,520
I'm like, it's not, this is not
a question.
1066
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,160
Whether or not you believe it.
I'd never asked you what your
1067
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,400
fucking opinion is.
It's what's happening Like this
1068
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,000
does not matter.
That's funny.
1069
00:52:25,720 --> 00:52:28,520
But yeah, that's stigmata.
And yeah, crazy.
1070
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,200
It's it's wild.
The whole idea of miracles I
1071
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,400
think is something we should
definitely, definitely like look
1072
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,200
more into.
That's another thing, because
1073
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,760
that can be so broadly defined
by so many different points of
1074
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:39,560
view.
Wow.
1075
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,560
Absolutely.
Great.
1076
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,240
Wow.
Fascinating episode.
1077
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,000
Yeah, thanks.
Yeah, it was good.
1078
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,520
Yeah, yeah, no, thank you for
for, for being here with you.
1079
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,760
And I guess instead of saying
goodbye, we can say Ciao.
1080
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,320
Yeah.
Ciao.
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,040
Hello Bizarre story friends, if
you're tuned in now, you are
2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,280
listening to the bizarre AFA
place where we talk about the
3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,360
strange, the unusual, the
unknown, and all things bizarre.
4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,760
AFI am Alicia, your Hostess for

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,600
we ask that you keep an open
mind.
6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,840
Keep a skeptical ear, but keep

we take you on our newest
journey.
8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,280
Wounds of wonder, the divine,
the damned, and the body that
9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:01:01,110
bleeds.
Well hello Kevin, my Co host
10
00:01:01,110 --> 00:01:03,150
with the most How are you
darling?
11
00:01:03,150 --> 00:01:03,870
I'm doing.
Great.
12
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,440
Today, how are you doing?
I'm.
13
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,560
Doing good.
Good, I'm doing good.
14
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,080
You're looking a little saintly,
I feel.
15
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,400
Yeah, what is that I?
Don't know like like like maybe
16
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,040
you could you could go through
canonization.
17
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,520
Hilarious.
Yeah, you did not.
18
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,120
You clearly did not grow up
Catholic.
19
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,040
Near.
No, you were, you were
20
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,160
definitely Christian, right?
You grew up kind of well, but
21
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,400
also you did automatic writing
Presbyterian.
22
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,040
Yeah.
Presbyterian only because my
23
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,960
friend.
Yeah, that's right.
24
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,560
What's Presbyterian?
And Presbyterian is probably one
25
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,800
of the more mild versions.
I would I would say they're
26
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,080
known, as I've said this before,
they're known as the the nerds
27
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,040
of the Bibles.
They really like dig into the
28
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,520
history and the culture that was
going on at the time and what
29
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:55,080
these like different aspects of
Aramaic, what actually meant.
30
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,840
So so you're looking at the
breakdown of words.
31
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,280
You're you're really nerding out
for sure, which is way better
32
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,640
than like, I don't know,
something where people might be
33
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,720
speaking in tongues, especially
if you were not like, you know
34
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,320
exactly.
But Cat, have you been to a
35
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,440
Catholic, a church I.
Have, you know, I went to, I
36
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,760
went when I was in the military,
I was in basic training.
37
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,800
And you know, it's, I don't want
to say traumatic, but like, it's
38
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,360
a shock, right?
And so.
39
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,480
Oh yeah.
And being in basic training.
40
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,720
Yeah, and then you get into your
tech school after you go basic
41
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,280
training to learn your trade and
you're just trying to find, I
42
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,360
don't know, you need comfort of
some sort.
43
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,600
You don't get to speak to your
family in in basic training.
44
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:39,160
I said once, I think maybe we
did.
45
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,200
And some friends that I had made
in my squad of them were very
46
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,680
Catholic.
And I'm like, OK, well, I'm
47
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,520
gonna go.
I'll go go try it.
48
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,120
Sure.
Right.
49
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:47,640
Sure.
Why not?
50
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:49,480
I like these people.
Maybe I'll like that.
51
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:55,320
Yeah, exactly.
And I realized licks are a very
52
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,320
symbolic, like there's lots of
rituals and lots of things.
53
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,480
Wow, this is intense.
And they seem very strict, I
54
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,080
guess is the one.
I don't know what the word is,
55
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,880
but.
They might like they might like
56
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,800
you to call them devout.
Sure, right, But strict is a
57
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,440
great is another like great term
for it.
58
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,480
If you went gone to mass, they
like stand up, they sit down,
59
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,040
they say things.
I remember I sat next to a
60
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,800
friend and I was like, what are
you saying?
61
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,800
And she's like, I don't know.
She's like, let me go back
62
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,240
through it.
It's also memorized like those
63
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,200
the different rituals and
ceremonies are so memorized that
64
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,680
you don't you kind of lose,
lose.
65
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,640
It's become so rote that
everything like loses any kind
66
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:37,240
of purpose or you forget what
the words actually mean because
67
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,200
you said so many times, right,
Which kind of goes into what
68
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,400
we're going to talk about today.
You know, there are really
69
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,600
stories, ancient, strange,
sacred, where faith becomes
70
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,440
flesh ultimately, where
invisible, invisible pain can
71
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,480
quite literally RIP open, spin a
skin, and where devotion isn't
72
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,440
just heartfelt, it's hand, foot,
side felt.
73
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,640
This is the in the realm of
stigmata, that's what we're
74
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:03,680
talking about.
Yeah.
75
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,560
So they're wounds that mirror
the crucifixion of Christ.
76
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,000
What we're going to kind of
explore today is like, are these
77
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,280
miracles?
Are they manifestations of
78
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,120
trauma?
Are they, you know, mimicking
79
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,040
somehow your brains like
mimicking something.
80
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,320
And really, we're going to be
exploring 1 of Catholicism's
81
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,520
most confounding mysteries is
stigmata.
82
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,400
And we're going to kind of trace
it from, like, medieval Italy to
83
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:35,960
the Vatican archives today and
from modern medical journals to
84
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,000
stories of people that were so
empathetic that they bleed when
85
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,760
other people suffer.
So maybe we'll learn a little
86
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,320
something about how belief kind
of lives in the body.
87
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,960
Is it possible?
And and back to what we were
88
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:57,120
saying before about how powerful
the mind is to the extent that
89
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,680
there's things we haven't even.
Touched even touched the
90
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,000
surface.
Yeah, yeah.
91
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,280
I mean, we were talking about,
you know, a few podcasts ago,
92
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,240
superhumans, superpowers are
these exactly.
93
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,320
Is that is that maybe a form of
stigma or religious like
94
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,680
devotion?
So one thing that I was, you
95
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,040
know, really wanting to touch on
was, OK, how the hell did the
96
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,880
like, what do the cat, what does
the Catholic Church think of it?
97
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,880
I mean, this could be either an
amazing PR, you know, move for
98
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,800
the Catholic Church, right?
Or it could very easily
99
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,920
backfire, right?
Like this person's just fucking
100
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,440
crazy, right?
So the Catholic Church does not
101
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,360
officially endorse every claim
of stigmata.
102
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,840
And actually the Catholic
Church, I'm sure that you've
103
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:43,120
seen it like at least in the
exorcist, you know, you have to
104
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,800
have like an entire body coming
through and saying like, does
105
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,960
this person actually need to be
exercised?
106
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,480
Like is there a demon there or
is this potentially
107
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,480
psychological?
One would think now today we
108
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,960
have more of a stringent
following and the Catholic
109
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,760
Church would one thing that I
thought was kind of crazy about
110
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,280
that is you have you have the
Catholic Church that would
111
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,320
greatly benefit from from this
PR.
112
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,280
You know of my God, look at the
look at the hands of this father
113
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,200
donate to the Catholic Church
today.
114
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,440
You know, sure, but they are
very skeptical and it might
115
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,200
surprise you, especially like
when some people like Saint
116
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,480
Francis of Assisi, which we'll
talk about or Padre Pio Pio,
117
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,320
they're they are canonized
Saints.
118
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,040
Like we were talking before.
These people are are normal
119
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,080
people that used to be working
for the church as you know,
120
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,520
priests.
They were canonized and moved to
121
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,120
sainthood.
So this is actually how the
122
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,120
church approaches stigmata and
evaluating it.
123
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,480
So the first one, the first
thing that they look for is they
124
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,000
signs of self infliction did
this person is this clearly.
125
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:48,960
Stabbed their hands.
Yeah.
126
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,760
And has it healed over?
Does it seem like it's, you
127
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,160
know, it's something that they
actually did themselves?
128
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,280
The wounds must appear
spontaneously and resist natural
129
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:02,080
healing.
So if they're with Padre Pio or
130
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,920
with you and you start getting
stigmata, you start seeing like
131
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,160
natural healing.
Well, you probably did that.
132
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,560
It was probably self-inflicted.
OK, hang on a second.
133
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,320
It's not healing normally.
So they say that if this is
134
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,640
God's work, I guess.
Yes, a miracle A.
135
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,880
Miracle and you start bleeding
from your hand, right?
136
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,160
Is that have to be that?
Doesn't have to be your hand, it
137
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,160
can also be from your foot.
Oh, your eye like crying blood
138
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,320
or something?
Crying blood.
139
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,080
There are very specific
stigmata.
140
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,000
Specifically is wounds of
Christ.
141
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,840
Christ well.
That has to be foot in hand,
142
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,200
right?
Oh, I guess.
143
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,480
Crap.
Side 'cause he was he was
144
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,520
pierced in the side by by Roman
soldiers at the.
145
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,800
End.
And so they're saying that if
146
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:49,000
that occurs, if it is a miracle,
then you wouldn't heal.
147
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,680
It would not just like all of a
sudden heal because here's the
148
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:52,760
thing.
How often do you have like a
149
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,200
bruise on You're you know,
you're like, oh shit, I have a
150
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,240
bruise on my leg.
Like, how did that happen?
151
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,880
You know, yeah, like that
happens often for me.
152
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:00,960
I'm like.
Where did that come from?
153
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,280
Yeah, where'd that come from?
Or like, huh, Did I take my iron
154
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,360
supplement?
So it could be something as
155
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,520
simple as that.
You cut.
156
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,400
OK, You cut yourself on the hand
or whatever.
157
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,240
Maybe we're sleepwalking, but
it's healing over.
158
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,240
For it to be a true stigmatic
situation, they have to appear
159
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,280
spontaneously.
OK, so there was nothing before
160
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,000
it.
Just suddenly it's just there
161
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,400
and it's resisting natural
healing, Right?
162
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,880
And the first one was no signs
of self infliction.
163
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,240
So it can't be, it can't be
something that looks like he
164
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,120
clearly did it to himself or
they clearly did to themselves.
165
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,039
The third criteria is that the
recipient must display extreme
166
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:40,880
humility, piety, and have no
desire for fame.
167
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,840
OK, sure.
Which makes sense.
168
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,280
Makes sense, right?
You're humble like Christ.
169
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,480
This is a God-given thing.
God would not give this.
170
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,600
I guess gift.
Is this a gift?
171
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,440
I don't.
Right recognition.
172
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,000
Attention.
Attention, right, Because I
173
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,720
mean, think about, think about
like the stereotypical teenager,
174
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,160
don't understand me, I'm going
to become a goth, you know, and
175
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,240
like, you know, but they're not
looking for any kind of fame.
176
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,960
They're not looking for monetary
gain or anything.
177
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,760
These are just people who have
the wounds have shown up.
178
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,640
Yeah.
And they're not trying to get
179
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,840
anything out of it.
Sure, they just can't explain
180
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:14,200
it.
Yep.
181
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,680
Okay.
The 4th criteria is behavior
182
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:20,920
must remain psychologically
stable and virtuous.
183
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,120
Makes complete sense, right?
Right.
184
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,520
So over time they have to just
keep kind of checking I guess
185
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,240
and they determine that their
behavior is staying consistent.
186
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,000
They're not like.
Like going crazy, yeah.
187
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,440
Yeah, yeah.
This person's like
188
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,520
psychologically balanced, yeah,
which is like makes a ton of
189
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,080
sense, right.
You want to make sure if if if
190
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,000
someone seemed to.
Because, you know, people can
191
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,160
fall off the deep end.
Hey, how I've felt like I've
192
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,560
almost fallen off the fucking
deep end.
193
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,920
You can be normal one day and
then all of a sudden you, you
194
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,560
know, are depressed or you're
manic or whatever.
195
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:57,400
So they can't have any signs of
that, right.
196
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:01,000
Yeah, they're super stable.
So the majority of the reported
197
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,240
cases that come to the Catholic
Church are dismissed, right?
198
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,080
The Catholic Church does.
Explain it in some form or
199
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,920
fashion or one of those things
don't apply.
200
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,560
Yeah, Yeah, they have.
They have like kind of like an
201
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:16,160
investigative team that goes and
like looks to see, are these
202
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,160
miracles like genuine miracles
or is this person just like full
203
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,360
of shit and crazy?
Yeah.
204
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,480
So a lot of the the stories that
they have are, you know, quietly
205
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,920
dismissed.
You never hear about them.
206
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,640
They or they're, you can label
them with something like, for
207
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,480
instance, psychological, right?
This person is clearly in a form
208
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,560
of mania, a religious idol,
idolization, and they think
209
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:42,360
they're the Christ.
In reality, they might have some
210
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,960
kind of mental illness.
Sure.
211
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,240
So because most of these
reported cases are dismissed or,
212
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,280
or labeled as psychological or
fraudulent, right?
213
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,360
It's just a fraud trying to get
money in some place like small
214
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,160
town and have have people come
because here's another thing.
215
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,480
When these people come out, like
we'll talk about Padre Pio,
216
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:04,640
people will go looking and
searching for a miracle.
217
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,160
They are like dying of cancer.
And if you're, if you are on
218
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,400
your deathbed or your child's on
your deathbed or your loved ones
219
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,840
on your deathbed and you're
like, I need you to pray over
220
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,680
this holy water.
It's going to somehow heal them.
221
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,960
They're looking for anything.
You're grasping for straws.
222
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,280
So people are coming with money
to these small places to try to
223
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,120
get a prayer, a look in that
same direction there.
224
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,040
You know, it's people who are up
against it.
225
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,120
And there's a lot, a lot of
money that could potentially be
226
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,880
made.
So it would make sense that if
227
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,880
it is ruled as, you know,
fraudulent, well, OK, that's
228
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,760
clearly not God.
But if it's not, if they meet
229
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,000
all the criteria, then we have a
miracle.
230
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,720
OK.
So if we have a miracle from the
231
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,280
Catholic Church and you have
someone who like Padre Pio or
232
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,160
Saint Francis of Assisi, well
then what happens?
233
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,840
They're both now Saints, So how?
Right, right.
234
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,160
So this is a miraculous thing by
God.
235
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,960
So that Saints you.
It has the potential to Saint
236
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,240
you.
And that was one of the things
237
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,240
that I was thinking about.
I'm like, well, you know, like
238
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,840
we were saying, Catholics are
pretty strict.
239
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,160
They have very specific rules.
What would he?
240
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,920
What would even look like for
them to be canonized?
241
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,920
Ultimately, it's not just
miracles in order to be a St.
242
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:25,720
it's about being a martyr,
having virtue, and during the
243
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:30,680
impact of a holy life's.
Ultimately your reaching out to
244
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:32,680
the poor like feeding the
hungry.
245
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,640
Things one would expect a St. to
do.
246
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:37,080
Exactly so you're a servant of
God.
247
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,960
Yeah, you're venerable.
Which the Vatican actually can
248
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,400
declare whether or not someone
has had heroic virtue like
249
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,840
through this they they also look
at these potential Saints
250
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,400
reputation where they they
actually like doing some shady
251
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,560
shit on the side if they weren't
OK, let's continue down.
252
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:56,240
They can be be beautified be
aid.
253
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,800
Oh God, I'd kill myself later
beatified.
254
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:02,000
I know that you're listening and
you're like, this is how you say
255
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,880
Alicia, it's so stupid.
Well, guess what?
256
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,600
I don't know right now, but but
what basically what that means
257
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,960
is that it's a one verified
miracle.
258
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:15,640
So each one of these Saints have
had one miracle that has
259
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,880
BeenVerified.
It's not necessarily stigmatic,
260
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,840
but it can be okay.
It's usually some kind of
261
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,200
healing to.
Themself or.
262
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,960
Others.
That they've like anointed on
263
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,800
others, yes.
Okay, yeah, so when you think
264
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,960
about I, I always used to watch
Unsolved Mysteries and there
265
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,880
there were people who would
like, Oh my gosh, I went to see
266
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,720
Padre Pio and.
Healed me.
267
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,480
He healed me, I was blind and
now I see.
268
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,600
Sure.
OK, got it.
269
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,440
So they are, you know, it's just
through like the act of, you
270
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,400
know, basically God blessing you
and you're, you're acting as.
271
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,400
Yes, the vessel.
The vessel for God's current?
272
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,760
Sure.
So a second miracle confirms
273
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,760
sainthood unless they were
martyred.
274
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,720
So if someone was killed in the
name of like religion or you
275
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,880
know, killed for God but you did
1 miracle, then you could become
276
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,280
canonized, you could become a
St.
277
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,120
OK right?
But if you did the 1:00 and
278
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,280
you're still alive.
You're still alive.
279
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,840
You're still like, yeah, you
haven't done enough.
280
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,440
We need to we.
Need like another miracle, yeah.
281
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,000
We need proof, but I mean, it
would make sense or else you'd
282
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,200
have a million Saints, which
actually they kind of do have,
283
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,080
but you know, still like, you
know, we try to limit it.
284
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,840
Sure, like I said before,
stigmata, we would need that
285
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,800
second miracle to confirm that
sainthood in order to become a
286
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,520
St.
So stigmata is definitely not
287
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,840
required.
And honestly, in modern times,
288
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,440
like today with the Saints that
happen, it's actually barely
289
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,560
even considered proof of
anything divine.
290
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,800
It's really seen more as a sign
to look further into that
291
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,800
person, so to investigate
sainthood, rather than like,
292
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,560
okay, here you go, here's a
miracle.
293
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,200
It's like, no, no, that's not
they.
294
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,920
Healed somebody and then got
stigmata Ed right.
295
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,880
That would be kind of like a
confirmation or that's still
296
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,440
today not enough.
Well, they would have to at
297
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,960
least heal two people to be
considered a St.
298
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,000
But what if they first got
Stigmodid?
299
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,400
So we're going to start calling
it.
300
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,720
What if they first started
getting Stigmodid?
301
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,680
Well, if they first got
Stigmodid, then it's like a
302
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,240
beacon of light.
Oh, hey, there's something up.
303
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,000
God is doing something here.
So we need to go and like
304
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,800
investigate that person and see
if we can find a miracle.
305
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,040
What is a miracle?
We don't even need to go into
306
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:42,480
that question.
So the first stigmatic Saint we
307
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,120
talked about right before Saint
Francis of Assisi.
308
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,960
So he was really loved for many
things.
309
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,000
You've probably seen Saint
Francis.
310
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,200
It's just like 18 hundreds
1900s.
311
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,840
It was like 12 hundreds. 1200s
OK.
312
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,000
Yeah, back in we're.
Good all ways back.
313
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,440
But he's a favorite for a lot of
people, OK, because he loved
314
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,960
animals.
He took a vow of poverty and he
315
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,600
had a poetic joy and suffering.
So he was he was kind of like
316
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,360
the emo.
I I like to think of him as like
317
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,800
the emo in his feelings.
A St. which Catholics don't kill
318
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:15,520
me.
Come on.
319
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,840
Like I'm just having fun with
it.
320
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,480
You're welcome, but.
Some reason I don't think we
321
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,560
have a lot of Catholic
listeners, but that's just me
322
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,360
guessing.
If you are, I would love to know
323
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,320
is Saint Francis one of your
favorites?
324
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,880
I know that they were as a kid
and it's because he was like, he
325
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,600
was like the animal.
Like if you had, if you really
326
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,920
loved your, your like your dog
or your pets, or if or if your
327
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,480
pet ran away, you would pray to
Saint Francis to have him help
328
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,480
find.
So he's like, he's the they have
329
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,000
like patron Saints for different
things and he's like the animal.
330
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,680
OK, so in 12 at 24, something
happened that forever changed
331
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,400
his story ultimately, and it
really kind of started the story
332
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,240
of Catholic mysticism.
So he was praying in solitude on
333
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,360
Mount Laverna when he saw a
serif, which is a six winged
334
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,640
Angel.
Look it up, it's scary as hell.
335
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,520
That sounds scary.
Yeah, it's definitely not
336
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,599
something you want to be seeing
when you're praying alone, you
337
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,680
know, on a on a freaking
mountain.
338
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:19,319
OK, so he sees A6 winged Angel
with the crucified Christ, like
339
00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:22,920
with Christ on a cross
superimposed on it, right?
340
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,520
So it's like.
On the 6th.
341
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:28,880
On the 6th wing Angel, OK, it's
it's 1224.
342
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,160
We do have not seen projections
of shit.
343
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,040
Like the closest thing that
we've seen of a projection is a
344
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,960
fucking rainbow or shadow.
Like that's that's it.
345
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,240
Like so you see that on this six
winged Angel.
346
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,800
But remember, he's a priest, so
he knows.
347
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,680
I'm sure he's a learned
individual.
348
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,400
He knows, he knows that this is
a seraph.
349
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,880
And then he sees Christ like on
the cross.
350
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:54,360
After the vision ended, Francis
discovered open wounds in his
351
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:58,520
hands, his feet and his side.
OK, lining up.
352
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,760
Right.
So these actually bled, but they
353
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,440
didn't fester their end in
12/24.
354
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,480
I mean, they didn't have
antibiotics, didn't have like,
355
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,800
they had like, like salves and
stuff made out of everything was
356
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,360
very, very dirty, Right, Right.
His wounds were not pussing up
357
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,480
and, you know, getting infected.
And according to his followers,
358
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,240
they remained fresh until his
death two years later.
359
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,640
Wow.
So he had, he had the whole
360
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,920
thing.
Everywhere for a while.
361
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,000
Yeah, yeah, he was just, he was
just dripping.
362
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:29,520
He was really like his drip was
on.
363
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,720
So whatever on fleek.
I don't know what the fuck they
364
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,360
say now, but so he had those
wounds on his hands, feet and
365
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:38,200
his side.
Because if you don't know, Jesus
366
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,120
was crucified side.
So they crucified him on a
367
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:43,880
cross, His arms were out, feet
down.
368
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,960
And then to confirm that he was
dead, a soldier then pierced his
369
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,800
side.
And that's in the Bible.
370
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,200
That's like the story.
So there was historic
371
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,560
documentation.
Thomas of Solano, which was a he
372
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,400
was a Friar and a biographer
actually wrote about it soon
373
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,560
after Francis, St.
Francis of Assisi's death and
374
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:06,160
then Pope Alexander the 5th or
the 4th confirmed the event in
375
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,240
1255.
OK, so his body was then
376
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,640
inspected after he had died,
after Saint Francis had died,
377
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,680
they looked at his body and they
didn't find anything that could
378
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,760
point to how these wounds were
created and why they weren't
379
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,320
healing.
So Saint Francis's stigmata
380
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,520
really kind of set the spiritual
bar where stigmata is concerned.
381
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:31,280
He is like really the first one.
I'm the first stigmata guy and
382
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,240
the idea is like he had such
intense devotion to Jesus that
383
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,520
his soul and his body really
joined with Christ.
384
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,520
Suffering now.
Okay, I have a couple of issues
385
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,720
with Saint Francis.
One remember this was back and
386
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,960
okay, 12/24 was when he had his
vision.
387
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,600
Two years later, 12/26 is around
when he died.
388
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:56,320
Soon after his death is when
Thomas of Solano, the Friar and
389
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:01,120
the biographer, writes about his
stigma, Francis stigmata.
390
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:07,200
And then in 1255, Pope Alexander
says, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
391
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,160
know this happened and I can
confirm it.
392
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:14,120
So this was like 30 years later,
the 31 years later that the Pope
393
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:15,560
is like, yeah, yeah, no, this
is.
394
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,440
Legit, he did have stigmata.
OK, was he the Pope the whole
395
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,680
time?
That's the question.
396
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:21,960
I have no idea.
I don't know.
397
00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:25,800
And why now?
Exactly exactly what, why now?
398
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,720
Why two years after it's like
kind of muddies the water Like
399
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,960
is this legit?
Why are we saying that he did
400
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,840
have like the stigmata was not
written anywhere else.
401
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,080
Was it a lie?
Was it The Who knows who knows?
402
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,600
I, I just think it's really
weird that you don't hear
403
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,200
anything about it.
Before 12/26 we would think that
404
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,720
there would be something because
by the way, these are all like
405
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,760
monks or, you know, learned
people.
406
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,200
These are intelligent people who
know how to write and read.
407
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,800
And that's a lot of what they
fucking did.
408
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,160
And you know.
Yeah, they wrote and read.
409
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,400
Yeah, that's yes.
And probably did some other
410
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,040
shit, but like, but that was
like that's like their thing,
411
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,440
right?
So you would think there'd be
412
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,360
more information about that,
Francis Yes.
413
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,840
It just kind of, I don't know.
Especially such a miracle.
414
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,480
I mean, yeah.
I mean, this is like we have top
415
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,840
notch like this is like the
thing.
416
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,880
Yeah, yeah, this is this is like
a bizarre AF story.
417
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,720
We are bro God, Jesus.
That is our life.
418
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,920
OK?
We've devoted our entire world
419
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,320
to this, right?
This proves God's love or God's,
420
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,440
you know, potential reality.
I.
421
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,520
Think this would be everywhere.
You would think it would be,
422
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,720
yeah.
And it wasn't so, I don't know,
423
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,880
just kind of like, so we were
talking, I brought up Padre Pio
424
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:47,440
because he is like the newest
version of stigmata that we like
425
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,640
as well known.
And now he's canonized.
426
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,360
He's a St.
Really the question here that I
427
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:56,360
have is like, since we, since
this is a pretty recent story,
428
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,600
how recent?
He was born in 1887 and died in
429
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,320
1968.
So so he.
430
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,920
Pretty like, we have pictures of
him.
431
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,760
We, we know a lot more about
this guy, right?
432
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:13,240
Well, pretty relatively new 700
years later from Saint Francis
433
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,400
of Assisi, right?
We're back in the 1200s.
434
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,960
Now we're in 1918, Like I said.
An Italian Friar named Padre Pio
435
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,000
reported a sudden pain in his
hands and feet during prayer.
436
00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:26,720
OK.
Soon after, blood appeared.
437
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,400
Then it was matching on his
hands Christ's crucifixion.
438
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:37,640
So for the next 50, Padre Pio's
stigmata bled continuously.
439
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,520
Holy SH what?
That's awful.
440
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:40,720
Yeah, you can see pictures of
it.
441
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,840
Like there are pictures of him
in various stages of life with
442
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,960
his stigmata out.
Like there are some like where
443
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,760
he's like the.
Hands wrapped, I wonder.
444
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,240
He did, yeah.
He had cutesy little gloves
445
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:51,680
like.
Like what is he like?
446
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,640
Was it literally?
Bleeding or like you'll OK, so
447
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,680
you'll see it like if you look
online, which you know, you can
448
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,840
Google, but I I can show you
like some pictures right now you
449
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:08,080
can see the pictures of him and
he is there are like some images
450
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,160
where he has the stigmata.
You can see that it's like in
451
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,640
his hand.
Hand is, it's like an.
452
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,880
Open wound, right?
Like his palm, his whole palm is
453
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:18,840
bloody.
Yeah.
454
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,040
And then him as like a younger
guy and you can kind of see
455
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:22,960
that.
OK.
456
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,840
Right.
I know, I know it adds question.
457
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,040
There are a lot of questions.
But he did have like a cutesy
458
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,000
pair of like fingerless gloves
that he would wear.
459
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,360
Yeah, look at that.
Which actually I do like those.
460
00:23:32,360 --> 00:23:34,760
I I get it.
I would definitely wear them.
461
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,800
What a stylish way to take the
stigmata.
462
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,040
Just in case you're grossing
people out during community, you
463
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:42,640
know, don't.
Wanna look at the hole in your?
464
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,760
Hand you don't wanna look at the
hole in your hand and like don't
465
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,760
really want to get like some of
my blood and like put all over
466
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,600
it.
OK, so, so for the next 50
467
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,160
years, like I said, his hands
were he was bleeding
468
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,560
continuously and not just in his
hands like everywhere, thousands
469
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,520
of people like from all over the
world, Catholics came to see
470
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,960
him.
His he performed masses, right?
471
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,120
Like that's sure he was the head
of the church and they would
472
00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:08,720
have mass on Sundays, he would
perform masses and they were jam
473
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,440
packed.
Well of course, because in their
474
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,560
mind, isn't Jesus coming through
him?
475
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,800
Like he literally embodies a
real life Jesus, right?
476
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,080
Isn't that the idea?
The Yeah, the.
477
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:24,120
God is coming through him.
He is he is but a vessel, but a
478
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:29,760
vessel for for God's like God's
power and strength.
479
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,680
So like, why would which makes a
lot of sense to me.
480
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,440
Like I think about it, I'm like,
if I am a person that is up
481
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,680
against it, I have weeks to live
left and this guy has stigmata.
482
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,720
I'm a devout Catholic.
Oh my God.
483
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,320
Well, of course you're going to
go there.
484
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,280
Of course.
Like hopefully I can have him
485
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,920
pray over me maybe.
Touch me.
486
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:49,760
Whatever.
Yeah.
487
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,520
And maybe his prayers, you know,
are stronger than mine because
488
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,080
there is like that, you know,
that notion in Catholicism.
489
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:02,280
It's like, you know, you confess
your sins to a a priest and a
490
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,760
priest tells you how to the
blood of Christ is not enough.
491
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,680
It is, you know, by praying
different prayers and tell like,
492
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,720
like you, you have to confess.
So it would make sense that
493
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,680
through a religious man, through
your priest, they would be able
494
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,440
to.
Absolve you or heal you or.
495
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,480
Exactly.
Heal you.
496
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,560
You're it's not enough for you
to pray.
497
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,120
If he's praying, he's got the
stigmata.
498
00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:26,160
I mean, come on, God.
'S this is like that man.
499
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,080
He's the man.
Yeah, exactly.
500
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,080
He's the vessel.
So, you know, people continue to
501
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,560
just like, go, you know, to his
masses and they are claiming
502
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,840
extraordinary things, right?
They would say things like, you
503
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,480
know, Padre Pio, like healed me
from blindness or from this
504
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,000
cancer.
And people would go just
505
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,280
specifically to see him.
Also at the time, there were
506
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,720
wars that were going on, OK?
Like there are wars in Italy.
507
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:57,000
People were looking for any kind
of, you know, purpose, miracle,
508
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,040
hope, hope.
Exactly.
509
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,600
So this guy who has stigmata, of
course you're going to go to him
510
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,280
and try to get healed or or even
just be around someone who seems
511
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,320
holy.
So even if he wasn't holding
512
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,040
masses, hundreds of people would
still go to just to get a
513
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,680
glimpse of him or see him.
So there are people that were
514
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:22,080
close to Padre Pio that claimed
not just stigmata was his gift
515
00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:24,480
from God.
OK, so those close to him
516
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,720
actually attested that he began
to manifest many spiritual
517
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,160
gifts.
OK, the gift of healing.
518
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,520
We already know that.
We already kind of talk.
519
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,320
People have already said that
yes bio.
520
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,760
Location.
Bio location?
521
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,520
What the fuck is that?
It's where a person is located
522
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,920
or appears to be located in two
different places.
523
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,480
So I might be here right now,
but then I'm also.
524
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,320
Also in some other place, yes,
healing people.
525
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:53,880
Healing people or like telling
people God is with you or like
526
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,680
pray this or whatever.
So kind of a cultish, but this
527
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,520
is something that we've seen in
like Greek.
528
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,800
This was like Greek mysticism.
This is like kind of has that.
529
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,600
So people close to him said, Oh
yeah, yeah, no, he it wasn't
530
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,040
just yelling.
He could buy a locate.
531
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,440
They also said that he could
levitate.
532
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,280
They he would prophecy like he
would.
533
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,960
He would, you know, tell the
future.
534
00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:20,440
OK.
We talked about the miracle.
535
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,480
So miracles.
These are miracles, right?
536
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,920
There was an extraordinary
abstinence that he had from both
537
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,960
sleep.
So he didn't sleep very much at
538
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,040
all and he did not eat very
much.
539
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,640
There was actually one account
that's one of the Padres
540
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:37,960
recorded, which Pio was able to
subsist on for at least 20 days
541
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,520
without any nourishment.
And this was around the Holy
542
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,280
Eucharist, which is interesting.
They also said he had the
543
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,280
ability to read hearts so he
could read like what people's
544
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,200
intentions were or what it was
that they needed.
545
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,120
And the gift of tongues, which
we had briefly kind of gone
546
00:27:52,120 --> 00:27:53,640
over.
Gift of tongues is when people
547
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,480
are talking, the idea is they're
talking in a different.
548
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,560
And that's the the language of
God, right?
549
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,320
Or that's the voice of God or
something like.
550
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,760
That language of God, the
language of the angels or even
551
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,920
like an an very old, like maybe
Aramaic that people will speak
552
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,240
in.
These are ancient, ancient
553
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,520
languages.
They said, yeah, he could
554
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:16,360
actually speak in tongues and
was able to convert a lot of
555
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,320
people.
Of course, you know, they're
556
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,040
coming.
They're coming there.
557
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,480
But they also said his wounds,
these wounds in his hands, they
558
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,160
smelled pleasant.
Yeah, which is interesting.
559
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,200
There wasn't festering.
It did not smell like blood.
560
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:34,120
It smelled like nice.
Yeah, I OK, I want to say so
561
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:36,040
many things.
So as all this stuff is
562
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,080
happening, right?
Like there's, he becomes
563
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,200
incredibly well known.
You know, he died in the 1960s,
564
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,520
this guy.
And this is like when you know,
565
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:48,360
photography, being able to get
movies and you know, pictures to
566
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,360
people all over the world.
So it's like perfect timing for
567
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,560
something like this to happen.
He actually became a spiritual
568
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,960
director and developed 5 rules
for spiritual growth.
569
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,920
So these were his rules, which
is interesting.
570
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,560
Weekly confession, daily
communion, daily communion.
571
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,200
I don't know if you've ever
taken communion.
572
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,680
No, Yeah.
I mean, so I grew up
573
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,600
Presbyterian like you.
Catholics quite honestly believe
574
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,440
that the blood and the body of
Christ like that way for that
575
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,400
they're taking and the, and the
wine that that is quite
576
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,960
literally it becomes it is
Jesus's blood.
577
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,840
That's what they believe.
And you have to confess and do
578
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,280
make sure that you're, you know,
doing the right things before
579
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,400
you can actually take Christ's
blood and like this sacrifice
580
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,200
the sacrament.
So there are like rules,
581
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,560
whatever.
I mean, come on.
582
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,120
Like you have to, you have to
confess daily in order to be OK
583
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,560
spiritually or weekly and
confess weekly.
584
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,760
I have daily communion.
You have to have spiritual
585
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,360
readings, meditation and an
examination for conscience.
586
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,000
So that's like his like whole
fucking spiel ordeal.
587
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,320
And and this, OK, this exam like
what?
588
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,480
Who does that that like your
priest, The examination, the
589
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,720
last one, the.
Self examination, self
590
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,480
examination.
So it's which actually is kind
591
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,960
of, I mean we like if your.
Perspective.
592
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,720
Yeah, yeah.
Like, look at yourself.
593
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,480
Are you a good person?
Like, what could you change?
594
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,920
We should all probably do
something along those lines.
595
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,040
OK, got.
It right.
596
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,040
So the idea like, you know, I
just wanted to talk a little bit
597
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,560
about like him, but his stigmata
actually really set the
598
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,400
spiritual bar because his
devotion was so intense and we
599
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,680
had photographic and like visual
proof that we could now show the
600
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,840
world, right.
The Catholic Church could right
601
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,640
as you close your eyes and roll
roll your all those eyes in the
602
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:34,040
back of your head.
It's so funny, like I can like
603
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,760
all of my emotions and my I wear
everything in my face.
604
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,920
Like I can't hide anything.
No, you can't.
605
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,200
Which I love it because then I
know but.
606
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,240
You know exactly what I'm
thinking.
607
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,480
I.
Know exactly what you're
608
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,040
thinking and I'm like OK now I
have to play up this final so
609
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,160
you know he his devotion was so
the idea was his devotion was so
610
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,480
intense his soul and his body
once again like Saint Francis of
611
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,880
Assisi, you know joined with
Christ suffering.
612
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,280
So Padre Pio really like, has
this big name.
613
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,640
People are, are, you know,
asking questions, visiting him.
614
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,960
So the Vatican's like, OK, we
need to figure this out.
615
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,240
This is a Franciscan monk.
And Franciscan monks are like,
616
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,200
you know, you think of those
guys with like the not
617
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,040
loincloth, but like those like,
like basically brown.
618
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,720
Yeah, Roby things.
Roby things that are like basic
619
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,960
and that's that's a Franciscan
monk and the Franciscan monks
620
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,080
have very specific rules.
You live a life of poverty and
621
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,920
help people ultimately.
So the Vatican's like
622
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,520
something's happening here, we
need to go and see what's going
623
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,520
on because we're getting a lot
of attention and don't know if
624
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,000
it's good attention.
They actually banned him from
625
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,360
doing Mass publicly.
The church starts banning him.
626
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,240
Yeah, they're.
Doing this you need to stop we
627
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,120
we cannot have you do like do
mass like these this.
628
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,760
Is too out of control.
They think it's getting too
629
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,160
crazy.
Getting too crazy.
630
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,000
And we also need to investigate
this to see if it's legit or
631
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,080
not.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
632
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,800
Right.
So in some letters that he had
633
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,320
from 1920, you can see this on
like, Unsolved Mysteries too.
634
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,720
You can see that Padre Pio is
ordering carbolic acid.
635
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,680
OK, OK.
This starts raising some
636
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,200
accusation.
What is it?
637
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,720
It's it's like a kind of like a
paste.
638
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,320
You can create a paste that it's
acid, it's acid, right?
639
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,160
So it's not like it's not.
Do we know what it's used for?
640
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,920
Like what is it's ultimate
purpose?
641
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:23,040
Let's look it up.
OK, so you're so this they find
642
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,080
out that he's ordering this acid
and you're saying they
643
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,520
determined that you can use it
to make some sort of a paste.
644
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,560
It's, I mean, OK, so it's highly
poisonous.
645
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,800
So this was, this was a carbolic
acid that is that was ordered
646
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,920
from the pharmacy, OK.
OK.
647
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,440
In dilute solutions it's been
used as a disinfectant and an
648
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,560
antiseptic.
Okay.
649
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,440
It's like one of the key
ingredients for a lot of
650
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,680
industrial processes.
Okay, so.
651
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,360
But he's able to order this
somehow.
652
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,200
He's able to order it from the
pharmacy.
653
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,760
Okay, they find record of this.
Okay, now here's here's the
654
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,920
question is like, did he use it
on his hands?
655
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,000
Well, what is it?
Why you can use it?
656
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,280
So, so it's like a disinfectant.
So like if you if you like was.
657
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,240
He maybe trying to disinfect his
holes.
658
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,040
Could it could have been could
have been he could have been he
659
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,320
could have been putting it on to
cause because because if you
660
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,160
don't dilute it.
It could like, you know, it
661
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,600
could have caused his hand to
bleed.
662
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,920
Those pictures, his whole palm,
it was bloody.
663
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,960
Now I'm sorry, if you had
stigmata it would be a hole in
664
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,040
your hand that would be bleeding
down.
665
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,960
Like why is your hole just your
whole palm bloody?
666
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,360
It's a good question.
It was.
667
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:33,880
It looked weird to me.
It did look, really.
668
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,760
It looked weird.
It I mean, the picture on the
669
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,200
picture that we looked at, it
wasn't like the best quality.
670
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,800
No, no, but you could see his
whole palm was red.
671
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,440
It was the width and almost
height of his.
672
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:45,560
Palm.
Entire palm.
673
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,320
So yeah.
Or you were to take that acid
674
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,920
and rub it on your hand.
If it starts eating your hand,
675
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,480
that would make sense.
What would also be interesting
676
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,320
is, but did you see anything on
his fingers?
677
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,400
I didn't see anything, any
finger, anything on his fingers
678
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,880
like showing that.
There was getting eaten.
679
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,120
Yeah, Yeah, no.
Just on his palms.
680
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,680
He used a paintbrush.
He could have used a paintbrush.
681
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,120
Yeah, but but like I said, like
if you don't dilute it, it will
682
00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:09,280
eat away.
It's an acid.
683
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,719
It'll eat away your skin.
Which makes sense, he wouldn't
684
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,159
have used his finger.
Right.
685
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:14,840
That's very true.
Yeah, Yeah.
686
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,320
You're you're going to use a
paintbrush or something to apply
687
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:18,320
it?
Potentially, yeah.
688
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,360
OK, so this reason raises
questions.
689
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,000
A question, right?
Yeah, we're sitting here like
690
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,880
saying, OK, in 1920 you can go
back and see that he did order
691
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,320
some and he could have caused
those wounds himself like we
692
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,600
were saying, OK, brush the.
Theory, yes.
693
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,840
Doctors at the time are actually
divided and some said that the
694
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,840
wounds defied explanation.
And other people, Other doctors
695
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:43,600
at the time said this is clearly
a dermatological trauma, OK.
696
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,480
This is clearly just a skin
trauma.
697
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,719
There is this is a skin wound.
It's not going into the, you
698
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,320
know.
Which would make which would
699
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,679
align with the acid.
Right, right.
700
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,920
And potentially had further
question as to whether or not
701
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,760
this is a God-given thing,
because if it's only the skin,
702
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,480
you would think that it would
like penetrate a little bit
703
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,040
more, right?
Or it wouldn't just look like a
704
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,200
burn.
Like a serious burn Right
705
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,120
question.
Yes, why would I would say
706
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:14,800
that's what in my mind, if this
is truly an act of God, it would
707
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,400
it would be what I would picture
to be the same wound of Christ.
708
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,160
Right, Yeah, yes.
And you know, I mean, people do
709
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,080
crazy shit, right?
Like, oh, no doubt.
710
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:26,240
So like, would you create this
trauma?
711
00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:27,240
Maybe.
Yes.
712
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,000
It could be because you're so
devout and you're like, I want
713
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,520
to have like some kind of
feeling like like I am Christ.
714
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,440
I live my entire life.
I want to have this pain.
715
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,360
Do I create it myself?
Do I lie about like there are?
716
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:38,560
Talk himself.
He could.
717
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,240
You could talk yourself out of
thinking.
718
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:42,600
You're lying too, by the way.
Absolutely.
719
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:43,600
Yeah.
You're so devout.
720
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,840
So devout.
Yeah, this is this is your own
721
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,600
eternal salvation we're talking
about.
722
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,000
Yeah, he could think.
He's not being mischievous, Yes.
723
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,240
Well, and while he was alive the
whole time, the Catholic Church
724
00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:58,200
is doing these investigations.
These investigations don't end
725
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,120
with his death, OK?
They're continuing to look into
726
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,560
everything.
Was this real?
727
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,960
Was this not real?
Like, what is the legitimacy
728
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,600
here?
During his life, Padre Pio still
729
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,840
living a life of poverty,
helping, doing all the things
730
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,920
that he had to do, right?
As a Friar, as a Franciscan
731
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:18,480
monk, his devotion never wavered
and nor did the people who went
732
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,720
to visit him, right?
For these miracles, he was
733
00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:24,800
canonized organized in 2002.
Really.
734
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,040
Really.
There's still debate though.
735
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,760
Well.
Clearly did he The church was
736
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,720
convinced, yes.
Otherwise they wouldn't have
737
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:35,120
done it right.
And remember, we, they have like
738
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,600
criteria.
We, we went over a basic
739
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,840
criteria.
I mean, the criteria probably is
740
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,240
much more storied and they
probably have specific accounts
741
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:45,520
or accounts and interviews and
stuff.
742
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:50,360
But this was, you know, close to
40 years after or, yeah, over
743
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,600
like 40 years after he had died,
right, That they finally
744
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,480
canonize him and have enough
information to say, yeah, that's
745
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,600
exactly what happened.
Really.
746
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,880
The the debate still swirls.
People still call him a grifter.
747
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,000
They still say, you know, he did
this himself.
748
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,360
This was his own inner torment.
People will have psychological
749
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,560
issues or like, you know, inner
self hatred and like, cut
750
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,240
themselves or like do self harm.
Maybe he had his own inner
751
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,800
torment.
That's what some people say.
752
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,840
Other people say that he's just
a grifter.
753
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,680
But some people, I really
believe that he, he was a, you
754
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,200
know, truly blessed by God.
One thing I was thinking about
755
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:29,440
when we were doing this, I knew
because I was raised as a
756
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,280
Presbyterian art of the Bible.
Just do.
757
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:38,160
Do these wounds actually depict
what Christ's crucifixion would
758
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,920
have looked like like
historically if we go from a
759
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,840
historic context?
OK.
760
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,520
Are these correct wounds?
Right.
761
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,520
Do they line up?
I know the answer to this, but
762
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,600
what really did happen to Jesus?
I'm going to tell you.
763
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,200
So the crucifixion itself, you
know, normally we see like in
764
00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:00,560
the the Catholic Church, a lot
of churches, you know, you see
765
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,040
the nail through the palm of the
hand.
766
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,440
Yeah.
Now if you are on a cross and
767
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:11,080
these like crucifixion deaths,
like public, public deaths were
768
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,840
legit.
These happened all the time.
769
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,160
And it was really oftentimes
too.
770
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,360
These types of these
crucifixions were commonplace.
771
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,600
Weren't necessarily commonplace,
but they would happen,
772
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,920
especially if you needed to make
a case for like, don't be this
773
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:25,920
asshole.
Yeah.
774
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,440
Yeah, like.
It's not like this was an
775
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,440
original death method.
Crucifixions.
776
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,040
Crucifixions were a death
method.
777
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,520
You know they weren't.
Is this what?
778
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,040
Jesus's crucifixion wasn't a
unique death.
779
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,040
Method it was not right no this
happened historically you can
780
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,360
eat there is historic
documentation for this yeah
781
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,440
legitimate sources so like I
said you see it through the
782
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,400
palms through the feet yes the
palms if you had someone on some
783
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,040
wood it would not hold someone's
weight because you remember
784
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,360
people did not die straight away
when they were crucified it was
785
00:38:58,360 --> 00:38:59,240
like.
Yeah, why would you?
786
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,120
No, no, no, it was, it was a
very slow death.
787
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,640
And really, that when, and I was
talking about the spear to the
788
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,840
side, that Jesus had that wound,
yeah, that's really seen as a
789
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,000
mercy to someone.
To just end it yeah, but didn't
790
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,080
they they didn't tie him as him
up.
791
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,120
I just made an assumption that
if you're.
792
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,880
Tying someone up, it would take
hours, days to fucking die.
793
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,600
No, but I mean the nails aren't
holding your hands up, but the
794
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,520
ropes would be.
The ropes but but still like how
795
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,760
long are are the ropes like
you're dead weight, you are
796
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,480
dead, you can't.
You are dead weight.
797
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:34,920
Yeah.
So you are dead weight.
798
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,880
How long is that actually going
to even like they have to when
799
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,080
they're if they put it through
the palm specifically, yes, then
800
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,600
your hand is just like the nail
goes through the hand.
801
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,000
Yeah, it's not like it's going
to stay perfectly.
802
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,720
And you're still catched, right?
But then you have use of your
803
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:52,600
arms and your hands, Yeah, even
if you're still tied onto the
804
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,160
onto the cross like you're
still, you have use of your
805
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,800
hand.
Provided that you came loose
806
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,120
from the nails, right?
Yes.
807
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,560
So they would never actually put
a nail through a hand.
808
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,360
They would actually put it.
The Roman crucifixion was likely
809
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,600
through the wrists that they
would put the spikes through.
810
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,400
Really.
Yeah, it's a much stronger.
811
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,880
Because of the two fever, the
whatever those.
812
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,800
Are.
Yeah, it's actually the radius
813
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,360
and ulna.
OK, so the feet were?
814
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:22,880
Junior high biology.
There we go.
815
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,680
The feet were actually nailed
either individually to the sides
816
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,440
or or stacked on top of each
other and then nailed through
817
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:32,480
the heel.
OK.
818
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,240
Sometimes there was a support
block at the bottom to prolong
819
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:38,640
the suffering.
So like I said before, this is
820
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,000
so gross.
It's so gross.
821
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,960
But like, this was a public.
This was like a warning.
822
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,320
Prove a point.
Exactly.
823
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,280
So there was actually a rare
archaeological find from 1968
824
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,560
where there was a crucified man
and they could confirm from this
825
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,720
crucified man that he did have
an ankle nailing.
826
00:40:55,720 --> 00:41:00,000
So his bones showed trauma which
were consistent with that spike
827
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,320
or nail being driven through
both feet like what we see in
828
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,040
with Jesus.
So his side wound, which was
829
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:11,040
described in John 1934 was
likely from, like I said, a
830
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,000
spear actually, or maybe a a
sword.
831
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,560
But they they say spear so it
would Pierce the lung or the
832
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,400
heart to to confirm death to
make sure the person was dead.
833
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,680
OK, so now that we know likely
the crucifixion was through the
834
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,320
wrist, the wrist, why are these
people having or showing their
835
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,440
hands having trauma?
Because that's what they've been
836
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:32,480
told.
Right.
837
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,520
Is it a fake?
Is it psychological?
838
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,040
I don't know, but I do think
it's a really good question to
839
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,600
ask.
Is this a psychological issue?
840
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,280
Stigmata.
So what if I actually told you
841
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,800
that some people don't need a
vision or a miracle to bleed?
842
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,320
The mind has so how much power
over the body, which we talked
843
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:51,480
about.
And sometimes, honestly, it's
844
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,360
devastating.
So there is a thing called
845
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,960
conversion disorder and it's a
functional and neurological
846
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,360
symptom disorder.
And this is where emotional
847
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:04,320
trauma causes paralysis,
seizures, blindness, and there's
848
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,880
no medical cause.
OK, so someone has.
849
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,720
I believe this, yes.
Which makes total sense.
850
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:11,920
Total sense.
Like people will wake up one day
851
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,360
and I can't.
I can't move.
852
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:14,800
See, I can't move.
Yeah.
853
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:19,720
And it is 100% because of the
trauma that they have endured.
854
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,080
And it's almost like a
protective mechanism, right,
855
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:24,960
that their brain has for them.
Actually, soldiers in World War
856
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:30,000
One often went shell shocked and
they were unable to walk despite
857
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,760
0 physical injury.
They were so and they, this was,
858
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,560
they called it, called it shell
shocked.
859
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,280
And the idea was like it was all
trench warfare.
860
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:41,600
This was the first war, like
industrial sized war that, you
861
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,840
know, we were around and these
people saw death around them all
862
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,480
the time.
There was mustard gas.
863
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,360
There was grenades being
launched.
864
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,240
This was not hand to hand combat
or battle anymore.
865
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,280
You're not looking your enemy in
the eye.
866
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,720
You're throwing something over,
you know, 20 feet in front of
867
00:42:58,720 --> 00:43:01,720
you and causing someone's death
and seeing the people right next
868
00:43:01,720 --> 00:43:03,480
to you die.
And so people would come back
869
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,200
from more shell shocked.
They couldn't walk.
870
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,280
They would, you know, cry.
Like you can see old footage on
871
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,320
YouTube of men who are shell
shocked, which is pretty fucking
872
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,880
crazy.
But through therapy, through,
873
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,280
you know, being around other
soldiers talking, I don't know
874
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,080
about the shit that you've seen.
People could eventually
875
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,320
sometimes come out of it.
Sometimes they never did, but
876
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,720
some people would.
So there's also something called
877
00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:30,840
like psychogenic bleeding, which
I had briefly touched on in the
878
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,320
intro to the podcast.
So this is actually rare cases
879
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:39,400
that have shown skin breaking
out in blood under intense
880
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,760
emotional stress.
And now this is typically
881
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,400
documented in people who are
suffering from an extreme grief
882
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,800
or religious fervor.
Gotcha.
883
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,160
You're right.
Probably because emotions are
884
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,000
can be equal.
Right, emotions can definitely
885
00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:55,360
be equal.
Like they talk about there is a,
886
00:43:55,720 --> 00:43:59,240
there's a syndrome that causes
your heart to it's basically
887
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:03,840
from grief and your heart will
stop working because you're so
888
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,000
heart like quite literally
heartbroken.
889
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,000
Your heart totally breaks and it
just stops working.
890
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:13,040
There is nothing physiologically
wrong with you, but it's like
891
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,480
your brain tells your your heart
to just stop.
892
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,960
You can't go any longer.
So some people do feel in
893
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,160
physical sensations when they
see other people being touched
894
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,520
or harmed.
I don't know if you've ever
895
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,520
watched like a scary movie movie
with someone.
896
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,520
And some people like, Oh, I
can't, I can't watch that.
897
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,640
Like it's too hard for me.
Oh, I feel like, I feel like I'm
898
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,000
going through that.
Some people will watch a movie
899
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,640
and never feel that empathetic,
you know, reaction, right?
900
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,320
For me, I like if it's a
suspense, I'm like, Oh my gosh,
901
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,200
I'm getting so hard right now.
Like like I, I start sweating
902
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,000
like it's, it's a lot.
I it's a huge deal.
903
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,280
But some people like they, it
physically harms them when they
904
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,760
watch horror movies.
They feel like they're going
905
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:55,200
through pain, right?
And it's really it's a subtype
906
00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:59,720
of extreme empathy, so they
receive real pain that is
907
00:44:59,720 --> 00:45:03,280
witnessed from suffering.
They actually did psychological
908
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,520
studies on this.
You can watch it on YouTube
909
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,240
where someone has a fake hand
arm.
910
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,560
On the with the wall, yes,
that's fascinating.
911
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,320
So fascinating.
So, so what's happening is like,
912
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,440
you have a divider and you have
a fake hand and a real hand or
913
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,240
the person's real arm, right?
And whatever's happening on the
914
00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:26,240
fake arm is also happening on
their arm.
915
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:28,800
Feel it?
So before they put up the
916
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,440
divider, they're doing the exact
same things.
917
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,320
Yeah.
They're moving a pen up and
918
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,280
down.
And they're watching them put
919
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,160
the pen up and down on the fake
arm while they're also doing it
920
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,360
on their arms.
So it looks like and feels like
921
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,880
it's happening to you on the
fake arm.
922
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:44,840
Yeah.
And then you have a divider,
923
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:46,440
right?
They know there's, that's a fake
924
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:51,240
arm, Yes, they're aware of it.
And then the person who's doing
925
00:45:51,240 --> 00:45:54,400
the, the scientist who's doing
the the actual thing grabs a
926
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,040
knife and stabs the.
And people say, I feel like that
927
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,680
was my arm.
I felt like you stabbed me in
928
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,960
the arm.
They will shriek in pain, yes,
929
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,960
because they like that's the
brain.
930
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,520
Yeah.
That's the brain.
931
00:46:08,240 --> 00:46:10,800
Like, yeah, that's the empathy.
So, you know, people like
932
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,280
there's like I said, people can
will do it like through being
933
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:15,880
hard, like they'll watch someone
who's being harmed.
934
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:17,960
They'll if you witness
suffering.
935
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:22,320
Now let's add in to that deep
religious belief.
936
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,480
Sure, OK.
Yeah, deep.
937
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,360
Deep we're talking, we are
talking people who quite
938
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:31,360
literally devote their entire
lives to this religion to this
939
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,520
purpose.
Layer on top of that trauma,
940
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,840
right?
The death of Christ.
941
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,040
We talked about it before it is
fucking traumatic just to even
942
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,280
talk about.
And if you're like being, you
943
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:45,360
have all this iconography around
you, and it's all like suffering
944
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,960
pain, you should be thinking,
you know, you have a lot of
945
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,440
guilt and trauma from that.
You're a monk.
946
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,400
You're a Franciscan priest.
You're isolated, right?
947
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:01,040
It is the perfect fucking storm
for the mind to produce sacred
948
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:02,120
wounds.
You could.
949
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:03,280
Yeah.
You could definitely do that,
950
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,880
right?
Of course I mean that yes, I can
951
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,120
see it.
It's not far fetched in my mind.
952
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,440
Not at all.
And there's there are books
953
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,960
today that you can read like for
instance, the body keeps the
954
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,040
score.
I would say everyone should you
955
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,320
can like listen to it for free.
An audio book body keeps the
956
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,000
score.
It's actually by doctor Bessel
957
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,240
Vanderkolk totally talks about
how trauma is stored within the
958
00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:26,120
body.
This is I don't know if have you
959
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:27,640
ever done trauma therapy or
anything like that.
960
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,880
No, I have.
And I will tell you there are
961
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,520
places in your body that you can
feel trauma.
962
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,640
And when it's it's released,
it's ridiculous.
963
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,800
Like think about people who get
like chiropractically, like
964
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,560
adjusted or a massage and it's
like, holy shit, that release,
965
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,360
instant relief.
It's instant relief.
966
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,000
Or people will start crying or
laughing.
967
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,400
Like I the first time I got a
chiropractic, like, you know,
968
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,480
adjustment, I started laughing.
It was the weirdest fucking
969
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,080
reaction.
Isn't that weird?
970
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:56,200
Yeah.
Yes.
971
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,400
I don't know why it's I maybe it
was like being scared or maybe
972
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,600
it was like releasing something
deep within me.
973
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,400
I, I don't know, but it's one of
those things that like your body
974
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,600
knows and your brain might not
be able to process it, but your
975
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,280
body does keep that score of
trauma or that experience that
976
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:16,920
you've had.
There are a ton of NHI or NIH
977
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,600
case reports on people who are
bleeding like it's like sweating
978
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:24,320
blood, like think of the, the
crown of thorns or whatever and
979
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,720
like Jesus.
So people will see that and like
980
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,640
be so empathetic, they will
start bleeding down their faces.
981
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,440
And, and I mean, they have a
disorder called conversion
982
00:48:33,720 --> 00:48:35,560
disorder.
People like we were talking
983
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:39,240
about synesthesia, right?
Like synesthesia where people
984
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,920
relate one thing that two things
that are seemingly not related,
985
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,960
you relate to it and it's it's
this feeling that you have.
986
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,240
So ultimately, like at the end
of this, I keep on thinking
987
00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:50,280
like, what is stigmata?
Is it?
988
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:51,520
What is it I?
Don't know.
989
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,840
Is it a divine imprint?
Is it a psychological phenomena?
990
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:59,160
Is it a strange kind of
psychosomatic cry for meaning?
991
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,520
Or maybe that's really just a
mirror and the answer kind of
992
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,960
depends on what you want to see.
No doubt.
993
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:06,440
When you look.
At it, no doubt.
994
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,640
No doubt.
All I can tell you is that the
995
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,360
line between what we know, what
we don't know, spirit and skin,
996
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,240
it's the way thinner.
And then we fucking think.
997
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:17,520
We talk about it all the time
from whether it comes from the
998
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,160
heavens, from the heart.
Stigmata is another case that
999
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,840
kind of reminds us that there
might be more to this fucking
1000
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,080
world than we think, right?
So.
1001
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,200
There's a lot of unknown, yeah.
That just proves that there's
1002
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:29,360
unknown.
Yeah.
1003
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:30,160
So weird.
So.
1004
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,000
Weird.
And hopefully, like, if you are
1005
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:33,880
like one of those really
empathetic people, hopefully you
1006
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,200
didn't start bleeding.
Oh my, you're watching that.
1007
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:37,240
Can you imagine?
Like.
1008
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,720
Hey starts sweated sweating
blood.
1009
00:49:39,720 --> 00:49:44,880
Thanks for bringing up stigmata.
Yeah, it's gosh.
1010
00:49:45,240 --> 00:49:47,720
That's crazy.
I mean, at first you think about
1011
00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:49,880
it, I kept on vacillating
between Padre Pio.
1012
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,160
I'm like, was he a grifter?
Like, could these people be
1013
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:53,200
grifters?
But and.
1014
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,840
Then you go, right?
Like, is he just so devout that
1015
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,200
he did it to himself?
Like, unbeknowingly.
1016
00:49:58,200 --> 00:49:59,920
Like, just, well, we'll never
know.
1017
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:05,040
We'll never know, but there are
reported cases of people who
1018
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,760
have been so empathetic and had
this like, like their brain has
1019
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,440
created wounds on their body,
whether it's through empathy,
1020
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,440
whether it's through trauma.
We don't know his specific
1021
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,760
history.
We don't know if that, you know,
1022
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:20,760
if he could have had a situation
from his childhood where he it
1023
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,360
just so happened to show up in
wounds on his hands and his feet
1024
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,160
and like, you know, whatever.
And, you know, and then people
1025
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,480
will talk about, and I've seen
this on TV where, you know,
1026
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,160
statues will start dripping
blood.
1027
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:30,760
Yes, yeah, we should,
definitely.
1028
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,640
Talk about that.
Or there's some Virgin Mary that
1029
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:34,760
cries blood or something like
that.
1030
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,120
Cries blood or oil or yeah.
Well, I mean, what's that about?
1031
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,640
I think this world is just,
there's so much more to it.
1032
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,920
The longer I live, the more and
more I realize, like, I have no
1033
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:46,680
fucking clue what's going on
here.
1034
00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:50,360
I don't understand a lot of
things and there are so many
1035
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,320
things that just don't fit the
boxes.
1036
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:58,200
We put the universe in and we
put this experience, this human
1037
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,520
experience in.
It's because we have to have,
1038
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,320
because for us to, I guess be,
you have to have an explanation
1039
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,080
for things, right?
And so then people create these
1040
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,400
boxes and whether it fits in the
box or not, you get it in the
1041
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,880
box.
Otherwise it's not in the box.
1042
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,920
Oh my God.
Yeah, I don't care if it's a
1043
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,360
square peg in a round hole,
we're gonna fucking jam it in.
1044
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,280
Yeah, it gives us it gives us
meaning.
1045
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,840
Or there is so much comfort in
answers and clear cut.
1046
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:23,840
Answers.
That's it.
1047
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:27,520
And like the idea of science,
science is physical.
1048
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,320
It's all physical proof.
It has to fit what we can see.
1049
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:35,640
We don't really like, we don't
really talk about other means of
1050
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,680
proof we don't talk about.
That exactly things that we, I
1051
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,440
don't want to sound all weird,
but on this plane or this
1052
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:46,000
dimension or whatever can
explain right there could be if
1053
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:50,520
what if it's what if there's
other things at play that don't
1054
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,840
fit into our world?
Then you can't explain it.
1055
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,120
And then that's when things get
weird.
1056
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:55,640
Yeah, then it just doesn't
exist.
1057
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,720
It's just like, nevermind, it
doesn't matter.
1058
00:51:57,720 --> 00:51:59,480
It's like, no bitch, it's still
happening.
1059
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,920
What the hell is this?
Right?
1060
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,600
Or it's labeled as like a
pseudoscience, right.
1061
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:08,880
The trauma being in the body, we
have had fucking proof of that
1062
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,360
for so long.
And when I've tried talking to
1063
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,720
people about the body Keeps the
Score, which is this book,
1064
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:15,400
people like, oh, I don't know if
I believe that.
1065
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,520
I'm like, it's not, this is not
a question.
1066
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,160
Whether or not you believe it.
I'd never asked you what your
1067
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,400
fucking opinion is.
It's what's happening Like this
1068
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,000
does not matter.
That's funny.
1069
00:52:25,720 --> 00:52:28,520
But yeah, that's stigmata.
And yeah, crazy.
1070
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,200
It's it's wild.
The whole idea of miracles I
1071
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,400
think is something we should
definitely, definitely like look
1072
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,200
more into.
That's another thing, because
1073
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,760
that can be so broadly defined
by so many different points of
1074
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:39,560
view.
Wow.
1075
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,560
Absolutely.
Great.
1076
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,240
Wow.
Fascinating episode.
1077
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,000
Yeah, thanks.
Yeah, it was good.
1078
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,520
Yeah, yeah, no, thank you for
for, for being here with you.
1079
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,760
And I guess instead of saying
goodbye, we can say Ciao.
1080
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,320
Yeah.
Ciao.
