For years the Vatican opposed the growth of the popular following around Padre Pio, but then changed its attitude, with Pope John Paul II granting him the honour of sainthood in front of huge crowds at the Vatican.
Among his reputed powers were the prediction of future events, being seen in two places at once, and the ability to know people's sins before they had confessed them. He was also said to have emitted the scent of flowers.
This is uncanny. I qualify for sainthood on all four grounds!
