I sped read over it. My condolences to his family. Did the 15 year old do something cringe worthy of note? Seems like the pope is just being kind to what is no doubt a grieving family.
Am I supposed to dislike him?
Unsolicited theology
Nah, the species of the host remain after transubstiation normally, as in the physically observable qualities of the bread and wine. The transubstiation happens metaphysically, which only makes sense if you detach the meaning of an object "being" something (being bread or being the body of Christ in this case) from what you observe physically. The thing that sets the eucharistic miracles apart is that both the physical and metaphysical parts of the host are transformed.
Makes sense though, if Catholics always expected the bread to turn into a bleeding piece of flesh then it would make Mass very disappointing when that hasn't happened in a regular Sunday Mass in 2000-ish years.
Do you want a 30-years war? Because this is how you get a 30-years war
I don’t hate him. He was well liked by his community. I hate the church for elevating him to sainthood because of desperate poor people attributing miracles to his lifeless body while the vatican sits on billions of dollars.
No not at all, he seems like he was a nice guy and my condolences to the family. The title is just me trying to describe what I view as funny about getting a modern saint. It is the church side I dislike, but the kid seemed like he was better than Ill ever be
He'd be a 33 year old tech bro who advocates for eugenics or something today if he didn't die in 2006.
