He was accused of wrong doing

He was a very popular priest. People packed his Masses. People came to him and wrote to him asking for spiritual direction. He was seen by some as a living saint. But not by all.

He had been accussed of wrong doing. His superior read that the declaration that he "is to be stripped of all faculties of his priestly ministry except the faculty to celebrate the Holy Mass, which he may continue to do provided it is done in private, within the walls of the friary, in the inner chapel, and not publicy in church”.

Knowing that he hadn't done anything wrong, how does he react?

He said, “God’s will be done,”…then he covered his eyes with his hands, lowered his head, and murmured, “The will of the authorities is the will of God.”

While it caused him immense suffering, which he admited privately, he did not complain or object.

Almost two years later the pope sent some representatives to interview him. To their suprise, "They found no wild-eyed fanatic, no crazed neurotic, no embittered rebel, but a pleasant, humorous man." They were impressed with "his humility, his docility, and the whole of his conduct" and recognized him "as a man of prayer and entirely godly.”

This priest was Padre Pio. Soon afterwards Pope Pius XI ordered the Holy See to reverse its ban on Padre Pio’s public celebration of Mass, saying, "I have not been badly disposed toward Padre Pio, but I have been badly informed."

He died in 1968 and was canonized in 2002. He is an example that the life of a saint is not perfect. There can be times where we can choose to be heretics or saints. Today is the feast day of St. Padre Pio. A short biography of his life is available here.
