Another example of the kind of inanity that has reduced the Catholic Church to an embarrassing joke!

I was in Italy a few weeks ago, and all over the country there are many photos of this young man as well as many trinkets for sale with his image. I’m as big of a critic of post-conciliar liberal Catholicism as anyone, so I started much like you from a position of reflexive skepticism toward the Carlo Acutis phenomenon. But then I started reading more about him, and I discovered the story of an unusually pious young man who tragically died young. His website about Eucharistic miracles has undoubtedly pointed many people to Christ. Several documented, inexplicable medical miracles have been attributed to prayers for the intervention of this boy in heaven. What’s the definition of a saint? A human soul who’s now with God. From my review of the available information, I’m satisfied and have no quarrel with this canonization.

So bringing Eucharistic
Miracles you don’t believe
but can’t explain away to millions of people around the world somehow doesn’t warrant sainthood to you. That’s just the kind of comment that Satan would make.
