Does that mean he’ll be the first person to be officially #blessed?
He’s already #blessed since 2020, by the catholic church. That’s a precondition to becoming a saint.
He’ll quite possibly be the first Saint to have the porn stash on his hard drive or phone thoroughly reviewed and analyzed by theology students.
Soon hundreds of churches will claim to have a genuine fragment of his fidget spinner.
And be cured of diseases after reading his old Myspace account
Behold this sacred relic! It’s his old samsung S5!
Turns out 700 years later it was fraud sold to them by a traveling grifter, as every monestary in the area has the same samgung S5.
Although Acutis’ parents were not religious, the young boy’s faith was nurtured by his Polish nanny
we’re sorry
Wait. What was she polishing?

What a load of utter bullshit xD
But is it any more bullshit than any other saint? I don’t think it is.
In a sense, yes. All those other fuckers are a distant past when people were dumber and the Catholic church was a global political power.
At least to me it’s more acceptable that they did it to maintain control over a whole continent, that’s human behaviour and perfectly understandable, even if shitty. But this here is worse because there’s no other reason than people truly believing in it.
I’m kinda afraid when I’m surrounded by psychos whose imaginary all-powerful friend tells them what to do and who believe a random dead dude did a miracle.
At a quick, manual count the roman catholic church has canonized about 40 new saints since 2000. Not all those other fuckers are in the distant past ;-)
I hear you, but I still think that the idea of the church and saints hasn’t gotten any worse: it’s “just” that the rest of the world has moved on when they haven’t (which is basically their founding principle).
Or put differently: saints haven’t gotten stupider, but our standards have changed.
Edit: I have to put my own point into relation: the only saints that actually lived in the 21st century from that list seem to be a pope and 21 IS beheading victims, so yeah, even among those recently canonized saints a huge chunk has bean dead for 100+ years.
I still think that the idea of the church and saints hasn’t gotten any worse: it’s “just” that the rest of the world has moved on when they haven’t
That’s a very common way of an idea becoming worse: insisting on the same old delusion as the rest of the world moves on.
Example: A geocentric universe didn’t seem like such a stupid idea a millennium or two ago, but nowadays where we know better, it’s known to be absolute nonsense that only the blindest fundamentalist honestly believes.
According to tradition, Saint Bartholomew was flayed alive and then beheaded.
I’m just saying, saint standards have dropped.
Traditionally you had to wait like a century as well.
I guess the tech bro mantra of “move fast and break things” has reached the Vatican?
Dude made a website. I would think the 70 yearolds were impressed that the guy was the first person to be good with computers
who cares?
Leader of a cult who believes in sky wizard, makes other random cult member slightly more important in the cult
I care because it’s funny to laugh at.
Where were you when god said ‘skibidi rizz ohio’
Millennial, not Gen Alpha.
I feel sad for the gen beta, whenever it starts
I’m thinking that will be gen “remenants of civilization” if things keep going the way they’re going…

Cringe. Imagine being non-religious and then these cunts start worshipping your dead child.
That’s probably not a popular opinion here, but: parents do not have a right to their child. If the child was cool with this, then that is the important part (and from what I read I’d guess he would be).
Let’s posit it the other way around: a deeply religious pair of parents raises a kid that ends up being strongly anti-religion and comes to some “fame” due to that. Would you describe those celebrating that kid as “cunts” as well? And if not: why?
And no, I’m not religious myself and think a lot of that stuff is stupid and much of it is dangerous, but “those parents deserve better” is an argument that’s used in exactly the opposite way in other areas: to oppress kids that don’t “submit to the norm” that their parents think are best.

Makes as much sense as anything else the Church has done.
Teenager… Millenial?
He died in 2006. They got his embalmed body on display in a glass box and everything, like the complete insane psychopaths that they are.
Just religion things
He’s dead Jim
Everyone younger than me is a millennial. Everyone older than me is a boomer.
No possible way this could go wrong anytime soon.
Why soon?
LOL i love how desperate they are
I genuinely wonder what they listed for his post-death miracles (a saint requirement). Are they technology related?
It’s all made up, and the points don’t matter!
Did you read the article? They list them.
They’re not the most miraculous miracles. A person might miss them if they weren’t specifically searching for miracles.
I mean, yes and no. You read the article and think, “that…sounds like bullshit.” You don’t read the article, read the two paragraphs where they attribute the “miracles” to this kid and think “what miracles are they attributing to him?”
lol see what I mean? It’s not a super uncommon thing for people to not read the article. I’d say even maybe the majority of commenters don’t.
You caught me. I did not
I took a miraculously big shit while reading this that almost killed me. Did I come close?
Do that two more times after you’ve died and you might have a shot!
