Carlo Acutis, a teenage website developer, was attributed a second miracle by Pope Francis, advancing his path to becoming the first millennial saint.
The tech whizz, sometimes called ‘God’s influencer,’ died of leukemia in 2006 at age 15.
So finding a cure for cancer is not one of his miracles.
God works in mysterious ways 🌠 lol
The two “miracles”
Acutis was beatified by Pope Francis in October 2020 after a first miracle was attributed to him, involving a Brazilian boy born with a pancreatic defect who said he was healed after praying to Acutis.
According to Vatican News, the news portal of the Holy See, the second miracle involved a Costa Rican woman whose daughter had a bicycle accident and was given a low chance of survival by doctors.
Vatican News said the mother, Liliana, prayed at Acutis’ tomb in Assisi, Italy, and claimed that her daughter recovered soon after.
I literally lol’d. A religious person can explain this to me but does the old testament not poo poo praying to anyone who is not God?
Fucking Catholics man. How many saints they up to? It’s it ballooning again after the great purge a while back?
I don’t care how unpopular this opinion is, but all religions are fucking stupid, and this is just another bullet point in the list of stupid shit zealots do to maintain control over the masses. Oh, you’re losing your young people to atheism and science? Better give them a role model and make a fucking saint out of a junior web dev with a geocities site. Holy shit.
Actual holy shit.
And lo did St Carlo the Broccoli Headed droppeth his divine merch upon thy gyats, absent of any fanum tax, and the fam was filled with much rizz. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula skibidi. Amen.
You’re using slang from the wrong generation, bae. That’s so extra of you, but lowkey I still think you’re lit so don’t get salty with me or I’ll be shook.
Let’s get turnt!
Outta sight, daddy-o. 23 skiddoo.
Wait so according to the article, someone prayed to him while in hospital and got healed? Is that all it takes to become a Saint? I wonder: if I ever get into a hospital I should pray to say Genghis Khan just to troll the Church.
Think about how weird that is for a minute. This guy wasn’t a saint when people were praying to him. So do Catholics just go around praying to randos until 3 people pray to the same rando and then are like “aha! a saint!” ?
Genghis Khan was already deified in Mongolia, give someone else a chance.
Can we go with another fictional character yet? It has been so long since Jesus was added to the lore that the fantasy of it has been waning with all these mundane saints.
I nominate Joker for, erm… you know, always putting on a smile even when getting a beating from Batman the, umm… Dark Knight, which is definitely an evil title, right?
That’ll just cause more schisms as people split off to follow the various versions and incarnations of the Joker. The various sects will violently disagree on everything except the fact that it’s not fucking Jared Leto.
The patron saint of the internet. If you pray to him and touch one of his shirts you’ll be healed.
