But from this small, remote mountain friary, he became world famous and exercised unbelievable influence on the entire world—though early on, he was forbidden by his superiors to preach, to write or to correspond. A few clerics developed enmity toward Padre Pio, resulting several times in orders from his superiors that he be moved.

In *The World's Greatest Secret*, John M. Haffert explores the \"hard saying\" that challenged even Christ's closest followers, yet became the cornerstone of the earliest Christian liturgy and the Real Presence in the Eucharist.\n\nThis essential Catholic book addresses the theological mystery that divided believers then and divides them now. When Jesus first proclaimed this teaching, crowds abandoned Him—yet Peter remained faithful: \"To whom shall we go, Lord? You alone have the words of eternal life.\" Haffert masterfully bridges ancient Christian history, scriptural truth, and modern faith crisis, proving why understanding this secret is vital for authentic Christian unity and renewal.\n\nEndorsed by St. Padre Pio and prophesied to reach its greatest impact after the author's death, this 2019 revised edition arrives at a critical moment when many Catholics question the Real Presence itself.
