I wouldn't worry about that. I mean not anymore than you would worry about getting food at any sort of restaurant, fast food or otherwise, or buying any sort of prepared food. Unless you make it yourself from scratch, it's been prepared by someone you don't know.

I doubt it came from the Vatican.
That sounds like "friendship bread" and has been something people do off and on for years.
I think someone made up the story of it having anything to do with Padre Pio or the Vatican.

What you have is a sourdough starter. You add flour and release accumulated gas on the accompanying schedule. Then you can bake it or you can divide it into new starter kits to share with other people. It's perfectly safe.
Padre Pio was a Catholic mystic with a lot of devotees. He died a few years ago. Someone stuck his name on the stuff to make it interesting. They could have called it Mother Theresa bread or even Charles Darwin bread.

It didn't start in the vatican someone just made it up and people continue the tradition some add superstition to it so that's where it faults. I've recieved the dough aswell and just passed it down.

Don't worry about it. Make it or don't make it. It is just bread.
