Answer
Dear øyvind,
I have never heard anything that Yogananda said about Padre Pio, negative or positive. Yogananda said that everyone that he met during his life, even casually, was someone he was meant to meet. Nothing was accidental. So, apparently, Padre Pio was not someone he was meant to meet.
Swami Kriyananda has often spoken positively about Padre Pio, and would not have done so if Yogananda had said anything negative about him.
In divine friendship,
Anandi
