In his new book, The Stigmatists: Their Gifts, Their
Revelations, Their Warnings, Paul Kengor gives a historical
overview of the phenomenon of the stigmata, focusing especially on
one thing many stigmatists have in common: they receive visions,
often prophetic ones.
The book devotes individual chapters to seven canonized or
beatified stigmatists: St. Francis of Assisi, St. Catherine of
Siena, Bl. 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
many stigmatists (such as Padre Pio) faced from within the Church,
the prophecies of Bl. Elena Aiello about Mussolini’s fate, whether
St. Francis was the first stigmatist in history, and what we
ordinary Catholics can learn from the visions and experiences of
the stigmatists.
