Italian teenager nicknamed ‘God’s influencer’ set to become Catholic Church’s first millennial saint | CNNwww.cnn.com Carlo Acutis, an Italian teenager and computer prodigy who earned the nickname “God’s influencer,” is set to become the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint.

Normal religion

That’s Blessed Carlo Acutis. He used Internet websites to tell other teens about God

And God rewarded him with leukemia and death at 15

Yeah he got to graduate early

I encourage all who are curious to look up photos of his tomb

huge congrats to Nike on the visible logos, that's a big get

Oh no why'd they do that

he got the lenin coffin...

jesus christ what the hell man

Lol how is this real

Very creepy, why display a dead body

Deranged.

Lol

tsa pre-check

I honestly didn't know we still had computer prodigies I thought that ended like 10 years ago

He died in 2006!

okay good my worldview remains intact

How are they keeping him so fresh?

Snuggie shroud?

Ooh, comfy

this is literally the exact definition of "normal" they are making someone a saint for their work in their field. they have one for computer programming even. not everything has to be old and historic sounding for it to make sense

Don’t care and furthermore didn’t ask. Ciao

dw you are not jlp

I wish I was

❤️

then you could respond to me and i would be RECEPTIVE

Millennial saint before millennial President is very funny.

The funniest thing would be never having a millennial president. We're going right from the first Gen Xer to president zoomer.

I'm pretty sure gen x isn't getting a shot either

Quirked up and sainted

me while taking communion: "poggers"

Organized religion has dementia.

This child dedicated his life to God, and in return, God gave him leukemia? Seems like a raw deal

I mean… if you look at some of the ways Saints have typically died, this kid got off easy.

I'd take beheading over the months long torture of dying from cancer. Or what2ver other shit happened to "saints"

He got to go to heaven early

You know how Catholics are, suffering is how god makes you a better person or something

Considering the rest of us are gonna have to stay on this shitty ride while climate change slowly kills us off, assuming the cops and fascists don't get us first, the kid who only got 15 years and is now eating in the great beyond eating Poptarts with Kim Novak got a pretty good deal.

What the fuck is that portrait? It's like he's watching his hotdog get stolen by a seagull out of frame.

I'm impressed actually

Ye olde saint: refused to convert, kept singing hymns after being impaled by 20 swords. Saints of today: made website, god killed him with leukemia.

the most based of us all

Sorry Catholics, this isn't going to bring back the young people you drove away by abusing them.

I’d just like to note that setting up a website tracking miracles is straight from Underworld. My man Don!!!

About half the saint's portraits are of them peppered with arrows or holding their own head and it'll be nice to see one that's just a guy holding a phone

The bar has sunk below ground level if you can be named a Saint for setting up a website.

Here's a stained glass window:
