As a fourth grader at Holy Cross Grammar School, Matt Weber asked his religion teacher why St. Francis was often pictured with holes in his hands and feet. She responded that those holes were known as the stigmata and that they reflected the wounds Jesus received during his crucifixion. "And how did he get them?" the curious Weber asked. "He got them because he was a good Catholic," was the reply. And so that night, Weber recounts, he did a little more sinning than usual—just to be certain he wouldn’t receive the stigmata! In Fearing the Stigmata, twenty-something Matt Weber—a Harvard graduate, television producer, and certified rosary-bead carrier—employs his sharp wit, earnest candor, and gift for great storytelling to illustrate for young adult Catholics both the real challenges and the immense joys of publicly living out the Catholic faith. The fact that Weber has discovered a way to have a deep, ever-growing faith life that also manages to be culturally relevant will offer hope to many currently disengaged Catholics in the 18-to-35 age range. From smuggling ice-cream sundaes into cloistered convents to telling jokes to an outdoor statue of Mary at a busy intersection in Boston, Fearing the Stigmata amusingly but honestly explores the tension this layman experiences between wanting to be holy yet “fearing being made holey,” and wanting to be good yet not wanting the cost to be too high. Indeed, Weber attends Mass every Sunday morning; but the temptation is there, he admits, to sneak out early so he won’t miss kickoff!

Description of Catholic vs. ProtestantThe Stigmata & Padre Pio is a Christian book with chapters on phenomenon like the stigmata and controversial issues that often get no press or the wrong information. There are some major differences between Catholic and Protestant viewpoints of Christianity. What is the stigmata & Padre Pio? Pio (Catholic priest) is not well known among Catholics, much less Protestants. The Stigmata is a stunning and supernatural phenomenon where living saints bleed and suffer pain regularly through the same wounds as Christ. Padre Pio is not the only stigmatist. Theresa Neumann and Padre Pio are two modern stigmatists whose wounds were verified by photographs and medical examinations. Before 1900, as many as 320 stigmatists (besides Francis of Assisi) were documented by a French doctor. It is not a fluke or rare phenomenon, more have occurred since then. The difference of Catholic vs. Protestant can be vastly significant here. Some believe the bleeding and suffering is "not of God" in spite of evidence from photographs and medical examinations. They contend it is not God's will that we have to suffer because Christ did it all for us...there is no redemption in our suffering. The difference of Catholic and Protestant boils down to authority...the Bible or the Church. How we got the Bible was from the Church, not vice versa. Belief, by Catholics in the real presence of God in Holy Eucharist is also a major difference. The vast majority of Protestants believe Christianity is based upon the Bible and everything we need to know is there. Holy Eucharist seems skipped over in Scripture or discarded by Protestants. Fortunately the view of the Catholic on abortion is frequently agreed upon by Protestants. Authority: Protestants believe the Bible is the only authority for Christians. Historical evidenced and the Bible itself contradict this. What is the Word of God (Bible) and where and how we got it needs explanation regarding "authority". Other issues covered are: spirit soul & body...the essence & dynamics of man, how to be filled with the Holy Spirit, how Christians can also have demons. Catholic symbols (statues), the uncorrupted body of saints, guidance from God, spiritual tools of God, fear vs. faith, devotion to Virgin Mary and eleven dimensions of God vs. our four. To summarize: differences between catholic vs. protestant, what is the stigmata, what is the Word of God, how we got the Bible, fear and faith contrasted, hearing God for guidance, how to be filled with the Spirit, spirit, soul & body interaction, the Catholic on abortion, and Holy Eucharist. There are many differences between Catholic and Protestant even though both are Christian and believe there is no salvation except through Christ. The book is a potpourri...a collection of different subjects. Links to other sources are throughout the book.

Padre Pio died September 23, 1968, his funeral attended by over 100,000 people. During the fifty-eight years he was a priest, his monastery at San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, became a mecca for pilgrims from all over the world. Born Francesco Forgione on May 25, 1887 at Pietrelcina in southeastern Italy, Padre Pio joined the Capuchin Order in 1903 and was ordained in 1910. On September 20, 1918 he received the sacred wounds of Christ, or the stigmata, which he bore the rest of his life.

The stigmata is the supernatural recreation of the wounds of Christ in Christians. The German spiritual writer Joseph Görres wrote this fantastic book on the subject which is simultaneously a history of the stigmata, a highly developed theory on how the stigmata comes about, and an eyewitness account of the author who saw for himself mystics who had the stigmata. This is a compelling and fascinating explanation of this famous hallmark of Christian mysticism.

Francis of Assisi's reported reception of the stigmata on Mount La Verna in 1224 is almost universally considered to be the first documented account of an individual miraculously and physically receiving the five wounds of Christ. The early thirteenth-century appearance of this miracle, however, is not as unexpected as it first seems. Interpretations of Galatians 6:17—I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus Christ in my body—had been circulating since the early Middle Ages in biblical commentaries. These works perceived those with the stigmata as metaphorical representations of martyrs bearing the marks of persecution in order to spread the teaching of Christ in the face of resistance. By the seventh century, the meaning of Galatians 6:17 had been appropriated by bishops and priests as a sign or mark of Christ that they received invisibly at their ordination. Priests and bishops came to be compared to soldiers of Christ, who bore the brand (stigmata) of God on their bodies, just like Roman soldiers who were branded with the name of their emperor. By the early twelfth century, crusaders were said to bear the actual marks of the passion in death and even sometimes as they entered into battle. The Stigmata in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe traces the birth and evolution of religious stigmata and particularly of stigmatic theology, as understood through the ensemble of theological discussions and devotional practices. Carolyn Muessig assesses the role stigmatics played in medieval and early modern religious culture, and the way their contemporaries reacted to them. The period studied covers the dominant discourse of stigmatic theology: that is, from Peter Damian's eleventh-century theological writings to 1630 when the papacy officially recognised the authenticity of Catherine of Siena's stigmata.

Many saints have borne the stigmata - wounds resembling those of Christ's crucifixion. While some of those saints have written about their experience, little is known of the personal experience of the first of all saints to brandish this extraordinary sign, Francis of Assisi. They were and have remained his carefully guarded secret. In The Five Wounds of Saint Francis, author Fr. Solanus Benfatti, CFR, explores the significance of this miraculous event in the Saint's life through careful analysis of pertinent medieval literature and recent scholarly studies. He establishes the historicity of the event, which has been called into question, and draws surprising and inspiring conclusions, leaving the reader with a afresh understanding of Saint Francis's spiritual experience.
