Is this really believeable? (St. Joseph of Copertino)?

Question

I have recently read an article about this man (St. Joseph of Copertino) and I was wondering of this is actually true. Here it is (sorry I can't remeber the source):
The best known example is St. Joseph of Copertino, the 17th-century Italian saint. More than a hundred flights were officially recorded during his life. At the slightest inspiration—beautiful picture, a sweet melody—he would be swept high into the air, soaring to the ceiling of a church and remaining suspended in mid-air, sometimes for fifteen minutes, sometimes for two hours, in full view of eminent witnesses. Today St. Joseph of Copertino is the patron saint of those who travel by air.

Answer 1

Yes. Levitation is rare, but there are many recorded instances. St Joseph of Cupertino is one of them.

Answer 2

true. Several Saints would levitate and some had the gift of bi-location. Some could read your soul and know every one of your sins. They were all part of the Body of Christ and the more you empty yourself the more you are filled with him. Some were very much him. St. Francis of Assisi---St. Peter and all the Apostles for that matter.

Answer 3

If you believe in flying priests, I guess so. But listen, the church was so embarrassed by him they forbid him to walk on city streets or attend mass. He was kept a virtual prisoner in his own private cell and chapel.

Fly?? Pleeze....
Was he a nut case? you better believe it....

Answer 4

Maybe he was the first Copperfield (sounds the same!)

Answer 5

are you saying this man could fly? if so that is impossible.

Answer 6

No, just a fairy tale.
