The kid spread religion online. God killed him for it. Pope makes him a saint. God facepalms and says "How many more kids do I have to kill to show you that you should stop wasting time in church and just be a good person".
so basically the kid was Lorgar? Hopefully a blonde haired kid didn't show up and burn the Lorgar kids home town.
if a bishop watched me code I could be the first programmer saint. There are times only god knows how my software works. Or not, in case cursing disqualifies candidates.
TempleOS guy would be so angry
My code comes from the bad place
Let's not be so pessimistic. I'm sure it's from the middle place at least.
Candidates for sainthood require two distinct miracles attributed to them: Acutis was first beatified in 2020 after a Brazilian boy with a pancreatic defect was cured, following his mother's prayers to Acutis to help her son. The second miracle involves the reported healing of a Costa Rican girl who suffered a serious head injury after falling off her bike in Florence: her mother prayed for the girl's recovery at Acutis' tomb in Assisi, and her daughter made a full recovery.
Quite, uh, remarkable "miracles".
According to Carlin's theory, 4 prayers to Joe Pesci (PBUH) should suffice for sainthood.
Joe Pesci: patron saint of smashing things with a baseball bat.
wait isn't it the mom who should be a saint then?
So people were praying to random dead people? How does that work? Doesn't make more sense to thanks the medics that treated those kids?
I knew religion was a joke. Anyone who still refuses to admit it is a total moron
Except there are still 1.4 BILLION catholics in the world, and that's just catholicism.
We may not like it, we may not get anything from it, but we should very much be concerned with what happens in the world of organized religion and what it's representing because 3/4 of the world still believe in some kind of religion.
Huh, seems it's like ~~an attraction~~ a pilgrimage site:
They've added 15 saints in 2024? Usually less per year tho.

They made merch, omfg 🤣 I despise this shit.
Also:
Acutis also created a popular website documenting miracles as a means of spreading the Catholic message, which is what led to the nickname of "God's influencer."
I can't.🥲
cant remember where i saw it but young people are joining less and less i guess its their way of trying to connect to the "youths". Its such a spectacle.
By using the exact same model as for non-youths.
Yeah.
good god that makes me gag
Seems like rich territory for jokes about saint Luigi
I don't know anything about the dead guy. Is this deserved recognition or a shameless attention grab by a no longer relevant institution?
It's the Catholic Church we're talking about so...

God, the Prime Mover, has existed even before the beginning. When God thought "Let there be light" is when that tiny little particle exploded and it became the Big Bang that we are all familiar with. Of course, I could be wrong, but I have faith in it.
Anyone known what document miracles this guy did? Last I knew it was a req.
