🇮🇹 ITALIAN TEEN BECOMES FIRST MILLENNIAL SAINT On Sunday, Carlo Acutis - a British-born Italian who died of leukemia in 2006 at just 15 - will be canonized in St. Peter’s Square. Dubbed the “patron saint of the internet” by admirers, Acutis coded websites to spread Catholic teachings before his death. Now, Pope Leo will preside over his canonization - the first millennial raised to sainthood. Acutis’ mother says his appeal is simple: he was an ordinary kid of the 2000s - school, friends, video games - who used his tech skills to “open the door of his heart to Jesus.” His body rests in Assisi, dressed in jeans, trainers, and a track top - a 21st-century relic already drawing thousands of pilgrims. He’ll be canonized alongside Pier Giorgio Frassati, another young Italian who died nearly a century earlier helping the poor. From TikTok to theology, Acutis’ sainthood is the Vatican’s clearest bridge yet to Gen Z. Source: Reuters
