The Italian Capuchin monk Francesco Forgione, known as Padre Pio, was sanctified on June 16, 2012, by Pope John Paul II, during a ceremony held in St. Peter's Square attended by 300,000 parishioners.
The Supreme Pontiff, who at the beginning of his priesthood once traveled from Poland to confess to Padre Pio, declared himself the chief admirer of the monk.
During this visit, the monk prophesied that Karol Wojtyla would be Pope. At the end of the conversation, the writer Jose María Zavala, who will be in Cartagena accompanied by his wife Paloma Fernández, will make a book signing.
