Do you believe that people have truly experienced stigmata?

Question

Why or Why not?

Answer 1

I think it's possible, but only because they wanted it.  They thought about it long enough and their brain made it happen.  Sort of psychosomatic.  No magic.

Answer 2

I consider it at least a decided possibility.  I know Catholic investigators studied Padre Pio for years when he suffered it, trying to debunk him as the church HAS debunked many other supposed stigmatics.

Answer 3

Have people truly found their eyes, sides and hands bleeding?  Yes.

Is it a divine statement or miracle?  No, it's a psychological condition.

There is no reason for stigmata, God has never been so vague about miracles.
