Is Padre Pio known to have sworn, at least rarely?
I believe the answer to be in the negative: no.
St. Padre Pio is not known to have sworn in the least. From his earliest childhood, he was known to have imitated the virtue and life of Jesus Christ.
Having been born into a very humble family, Padre Pio was even born in a stable, just like Our Lord at Bethlehem. He wore the marks of Jesusβ crucifixion since 1910!
I have read several biographies on Padre Pio and not one mentioned him swearing or using foul language in one way or another.
Swearing like a sailor, would have hindered his canonization big time.
