## Resource

Did a Catholic saint really levitate? According to eyewitness testimony, Saint Joseph of Cupertino spent decades rising off the ground during prayer, Mass, and moments of intense devotion. His witnesses included cardinals, bishops, a pope, Protestant observers, and even investigators from the Inquisition. What makes his story insane isn't just the levitations.. it's the fact that the Church spent years investigating him, restricting him, questioning him and ultimately concluding that the phenomena were genuine. In this video, we'll explore the life of the "Flying Saint," what actually happened, how the Church evaluates extraordinary mystical claims, and why Joseph of Cupertino remains one of the most fascinating saints in Catholic history. #Catholic #Saints #JosephOfCupertino #CatholicHistory #Miracles #ChurchHistory #Mysticism
