medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

levitations, stigmata, weeping tears of blood, and reports of heavenly visions

In fact, they're almost frowned upon. As I recall the curé of Ars was somewhat 
browbeaten by his superiors and Bernadette Soubirous was not popular with her 
bishop. On the other hand, there's Padre Pio... But I stray from things 
medieval.
