In his new book, Stigmatists: Their gifts, their revelations, their warnings.Paul Kengor provides a historical overview of the phenomenon of stigmata, focusing in particular on one thing that many stigmatists have in common:
The book devotes chapters to seven canonized or beatified stigmata: St. Francis of Assisi, St. Catherine of Siena, and St. Catherine of British Columbia. Anne Catherine Emmerich, St. Pius of Pietrelcina, St. Faustina, Bl. Elena Aiello and St. Gemma Galgani.
Kengor joins the podcast to discuss the skepticism and attacks faced by many bigots from within the church (such as Padre Pio) and the prophecies of Bl. Elena Aiello talks about the fate of Mussolini, whether St. Francis was the first stigmata bearer in history, and what we ordinary Catholics can learn from the visions and experiences of stigmata bearers.
