Church that received relic from Padre Pio remains intact amid floods in Spain
According to the parish priest, Fr Fran Martinez, the church has not suffered any damage, something that many consider miraculous. Days before the disaster, the priest and a group of faithful brought a relic of the blood of St. Pius of Pietrelcina to the parish, trusting in his protection.
The community attributes the preservation of the church to the intercession of the saint, who, the parish priest believes, has kept the parish as a “oasis” amid the tragedy that, so far, has killed at least 214 people and left a large yet undetermined number of missing.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
