Roman Catholic Church's Newest "Saint" - a 15-year-old Who is Called "God's Influencer"
Can anyone truly believe that elevating Carlo Acutis to sainthood is anything more than idolatry? This young kid, who died at 15 from leukemia, has been transformed into what they call "God's influencer" by the Roman Catholic Church.
But what does that even mean? Can any human influence God?
The whole Roman Catholic process of canonization reeks of human arrogance and religious theater rather than true faith.
Carlo Acutis was a teenager from Italy, born in 1991, whose life was marked by a deep devotion to the Roman Catholic faith. He was known for his exceptional dedication to Catholicism from a young age, attending daily Mass, praying the Rosary, and showing a particular devotion to the Eucharist.
Acutis got a fast pass to beatification in October 2020, courtesy of the Vatican's so-called 'miracle' stamp of approval. The Roman Catholic Church has peddled the fairy tale that he swooped down from heaven in 2013 to save a Brazilian kid, Matheus Vianna, who had a rare pancreatic issue.
Ostensibly, this “miraculous intervention” came from praying to Acutis and touching a piece of his clothing. As if one absurd claim wasn't enough, the Vatican doubled down this year, spinning another yarn about a Costa Rican girl who miraculously recovered from a head injury after her mother prayed at Acutis' tomb in Assisi.
It’s fascinating, yet extremely disturbing, that so many are drawn to believe such wildly deceptive nonsense. Are we really expected to buy into this?
Acutis also had a keen interest in technology, creating a website to catalog and promote supposed Eucharistic “miracles” around the world. While he certainly demonstrated dedication to his religion, the Catholic Church’s decision to canonize him and declare him a “saint” elevates his actions to a fictional level of idolatry that cannot go unchallenged.
The Catholic Church's canonization is nothing short of an elaborate charade. It’s filled with rituals and ceremonies that are more about human pomp than God’s will. Carlo Acutis was dedicated to the Catholic religion, sure, but the idea that he can perform miracles or deserves special veneration is absurd. In fact, his dedication to the Catholic Church is what should concern us the most about his ultimate fate.
The Catholic church’s need to create saints, to manufacture intermediaries, is a blatant departure from biblical Christianity and demonstrates what happens to churches that abandon the Scriptures as their authority. Anything goes. It’s just another example of their idolatrous practices.
No human being—not Mary, not any of the other canonized “saints,” nor this kid—has any “influence” over God. Psalm 115:3 tells us,
