The Padre Pio Foundation of America was built from the legend of the Italian priest who inspired pilgrimages and spiritual healing. The foundation supports church establishments, hospitals, and resources for followers of their specific faith.

What miracles did Padre Pio perform?

Those close to Padre Pio attest that he began to manifest several spiritual gifts including the gifts of healing, bilocation, levitation, prophecy, miracles, extraordinary abstinence from both sleep and nourishment (one account states that Padre Agostino recorded one instance in which Padre Pio was able to subsist for at least 20 days at Verafeno on only the Eucharist without any other nourishment), the ability to read hearts, the gift of tongues, the gift of conversions, and the fragrance from his wounds.Numerous Church and medical personnel examined his wounds but could not find a natural explanation. They did state that carbolic acid could not have cause the bleeding as the chemical would have destroyed the tissue and caused it to rot. Finally, tired of all the publicity, the superiors of Padre Pio forbade him from showing the wounds to anyone, including Father Gemelli. Just before Padre Pio died the wounds disappeared, leaving no trace.One notable miracle was witnessed by then Bishop Wojtyla (later Pope John Paul II). He maintained a close friendship with a Polish couple who had 4 young children. Bishop Wojtyla learned that the mother was suffering from stomach cancer and it was apparently inoperable. The Bishop sent a hand delivered note to Pio asking for his prayers. A few days later the doctors agreed to operate to see if anything at all could be done. However, the surgery was canceled when the morning of the scheduled surgery they could find no trace of the tumor. It had disappeared overnight.

Why was slavery referred to as peculiar institution?

Slavery was referred to as the "peculiar institution" because slavery was the exact contradiction to what America was founded on. America built its foundation on the notion that all men were created equally and had equal rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To enslave an individual would mean to deny them these basic human rights, undermining the very foundation of America.
