Who Really was Father Luigi Villa?

                      Father Luigi Villa was responsible for delaying the beatification of Paul VI

By Dr. Franco Adessa



One might not even attempt to understand who, in fact, Father Luigi Villa was without taking into account the words spoken by Pius XII to his Pro Secretary of State, Cardinal Domenico:

 "Tell Monsignor Biambattista Bosio I approve the assignment entrusted to Father Luigi Villa from Padre Pio. The assignment was to weed out the Freemasons who had infiltrated the hierarchy."


  Padre Pio himself had summoned the young priest to his room, while he was visiting at San Giovanni Rotundo.  He greeted him with these words:  "I have been waiting a long time to see you." A very surprised Father Villa said, after hearing of the mission which Padre Pio was entrusting him with, said:  "First I must ask the Pope."


"I grant him a papal mandate" said Pope Pius XII.    First he must earn a degree in Dogmatic Theology and he must be entrusted to the Cardinals Alfredo Ottaviani, Pietro Palazzina and Pietro Parente.  Also tell Monsignor Bosio that:"
"In the history of the Church ... this is the first time that such a task has been entrusted to a young priest.  And also tell him that it will be the last!"



Father Villa is the author of the book:  Pope Paul VI  beatified?  

He is responsible for delaying the beatification of Pope Pope Paul VI until after his own death. His entire life was a white martyrdom.

When the Cardinals read his book, some sent it back with torn pages, some with writing on the pages .The book proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that Pope Paul VI was not endowed with the 'heroic virtue' required for beatitude. They decided they could not beatify the Pope then, but, told Father Villa "We'll do it after you die"

And that is just what they did.  Shortly after Father Villa died, Paul VI was canonized.

Read the book, now that Canonization is looming in the near future.  You 'be the judge' as the current Pope says.
