Is it worship of Padre Pio?

Yes indeed and it is also cowardly and hypocritical when this occurs on this forum,I have noticed that this happens all too often when hardcore Fundamentalists post their insane drivel

here and it is actually their way of rallying support from others of their own mindset.

Any Catholic who has a decent knowledge of the Catechism of the church can usually refute the rants of these people but the price is that of being blocked from doing so again.

For one ingredient Catholics do no longer 'worship' everybody yet God Almighty, to venerate a saintly guy, like Padre Pio, and ask him to interceed so you might God isn't worshiping. we are portion of the communion of saints, those in Heaven, Purgatory and on earth, we help one yet another only like we'd do if we've been all on earth and intercessions in prayer have constantly been a factor on the grounds that Apostolic circumstances.

You're right. However, it is easy to see how people can confuse honor and worship.

We protestants see statues and icons, prayers to the saints, and make logical, if perhaps mistaken, conclusions.

We should be more open-minded.

Yes it is ridiculous. Anyone posting a question (especially an inflammatory one) should expect a wide variety of answers.

If he is going to ask he should be open to an answer.

Yes, it is.

Right you are!!!!!!
