St Padre Pio is a much beloved, internationally famous and yet not entirely known. That is, until now with Stefano Campanella's new published book, Oboedientia et Pax: The True Story of a False Prosecution.

Both are icons of holiness and priesthood but there some fragility in human relations...
The author speaks to his work here.
