Mystic Capuchin monk and priest was very early the instrument of unexplained phenomena: stigmata, visions, bilocation, healing ... The author takes the time in the first part of the book demonstrate that these phenomena are inexplicable rationally. His conclusion: they are original supernatural.
One might therefore think that the author is a believer, and that he will quickly conclude that Padre Pio is the instrument of God and that these miracles are the expression of the power of faith. But no: G. MessadiƩ devises a grotesque parallel dunivers theory (the "multiverse"), it claims based on the latest scientific advances. Everything would quƩnergie, which would explain such apparent exhaustion of Padre Pio after supernatural manifestations; which would also explain the higher body temperatures that it reached, properly inhuman and yet not killed lont.
This nest of course quune hypothesis. Nothing founds, if nest imagination of the author. We expected a bit more from him who led Science and Life for so long. Meanwhile, it closes this book seriously wondering if we were not the victim of a bad joke.
