Joseph of Cupertino: The Flying Friar

Daniel tells the story of Saint Joseph of Cupertino (1603-1663), the slow, clumsy friar nobody wanted, who passed his ordination exams on the one Gospel verse he knew, rose into the air in ecstasy so often that the canonization process recorded more than seventy flights under oath, survived the Inquisition, and spent twenty-four years hidden away by a Church that could not handle his crowds.
