I have just read that the source of my news about Padre Pio's missing body, "Catholic Family News," is owned by Nicholas Gruner, who appears to have a rather questionable character. I found the following on a website:
Church warns against supporting Gruner's various ministries
VATICAN CITY, SEP 13, 2001 (VIS) - The following declaration was released yesterday afternoon by the Congregation for the Clergy. It was signed by Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, congregation prefect, and by Archbishop Csaba Ternyak, secretary.
"The Holy See has received several news reports concerning the so-called Conference for Peace in the World, which is being planned for Rome for October 7 to 13 and which has been organized by Fr. Nicholas Gruner of Canada.
"The Congregation for the Clergy, upon the mandate from a higher authority, wishes to state that Rev. Nicholas Gruner is under an 'a divinis' suspension, which has been confirmed by a definitive sentence of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signature.
"The activities of Fr. Gruner, therefore, including the above-mentioned conference, do not have the approval of legitimate ecclesiastical authorities." CPC/DECLARATION/CASTRILLON HOYOS VIS 20010913 (140)
TCR Note: Fr. Nicholas Gruner, who reportedly owns the materially schismatic "Catholic Family News" has worked in close union with the signers of the schismatic manifesto We Resist [the Pope] to the Face, Atila Guimaraes, John Vennari, Michael Matt, Marian Horvat. Nicholas has also worked closely with Chris Ferrara, an attorney and apologist for the schismatic four and apologist and writer for Gruner. Gruner has long been in opposition to the Vatican, positing various conspiracy theories regarding the Third Secret of Fatima. Sr. Lucy, the last living of the three Fatima seers, repudiated Gruner's views according to Church officials.
I haven't heard anymore about Padre Pio's missing body. If anyone has any new information about it, please post!
