For real, my church had gilded skulls and finger bones, in addition to all the chalices and holy hand grenades
Really put me on my path to being a morbid little kid
Same. My parents wondered why I got into goth shit and demonology. Church, guys. Church made me get into it.
Young people these days are so woke that they don't even want to chop up a corpse for souvenirs any more.
billions must ossuary
I will pray to him when my ping is too high.
It would probably get worse when your prayer try to connect to heavenly server. It is very far and usually pretty overloaded.
Damnit you're right.

Catholicism is a fake ass religion. How can anyone take this shit seriously?!
Also if I know anything about 15 yr old boys who are internet users, it’s that the real relic shouldn’t be one of his t shirts, it should be the crusty sock down the back of his wash basket.

still waiting to see a real ass religion
Polytheists are the only real religious people. "Oh yeah our Gods are a bunch of inbred weirdos who live on a Mountain and rule us by arbitrary whims so it totally makes sense that we have to burn horse foreskins for them cuz that's just some weird shit they're into, also those people like 20 miles away who have their own pantheon of inbred weirdos are totally legit and if enough of us fuck enough of them we'll just meld the two inbred weirdo families together."
Everyone else is trying to nerd there way into thinking there's some rational benevolent AI controlling everything. Monotheists are the OG scifi nerds.

Why were people praying at his tomb when he wasn't a saint yet? Why did he have a tomb and not just a grave? Lots of weird shit happening here.
Found this on his wikipedia page:
Carlo Acutis was born in London, England, on 3 May 1991, to Andrea Acutis and Antonia Salzano, members of wealthy Italian families.[4][6][7][8] The Acutis family had a prominent position in the Italian insurance industry.[9] The Salzanos ran a publishing company.[10] Acutis' maternal great-grandmother was born in the United States and came from a family of landowners in New York.[11]
So this kid's rich parents made a hefty donation to the church and now he's a saint? Is that how it works?
Is that how it works?
Some saints were canononized because of genuine religious reasons but rich and powerful people has always been able to lobby the church to get one of their guys canonised, that's why most European countries have a saint who also happens to have been a king.
Yep
Due to having played video games in life, Acutis has been described as the "first saintly gamer".

So his "miracles" were posthumous and had nothing to do with the internet?
There are very few miracles that happened in the lives of saints. The point of the whole 2 miracles to canonize a saint is that once you die, people who think you went to heaven pray for your intercession. If you really are in heaven then you'd ask God to make the miracles happen. Then the idea is that if a miracle happens, it was because of the saint's intercession. But this only works if people are ONLY praying for the purported saint's intercession.
It's kinda a weird system, I've gone to some Masses hosted by an order of nuns that was founded by a nun who is now in the process of being beatified. They asked the attendees to pray for her intercession, but you could ONLY pray for her intercession, no one else's, or else we don't know who interceded.
Turning up a dial that says pseudo paganism on it and looking back to the congregation for approval
Catholics reinventing ancestral worship.
people who think you went to heaven pray for your intercession
And they have the gall to call buddhists "idolators"
Ya know, that explains why there are so many fucking saints, and also is absolutely bullshit.
We’ve gotta switch to only counting the ones who actually performed their miracles while alive, that’ll make the numbers a lot more reasonable too
sadly removing my shrine to St. Aubergine of Babaganoushpolis
“Beatified” should also be a term for when you spend 2 hours doing heavy glam makeup for the club

The miracles have nothing to do with the internet, but Carlo was a programmer, he made a website for his local church and he was unfortunely a gamer.

This is the majority of Saint miracles tbh
jesus christ catholicism is embarrassing lol, imagine reading this and being like "yup the pope is infallible!"
Death to America
This pope is fallible because he is woke and cringe
The Pope is just cultivating mass 
I love how god won’t directly intervene to help you because of muh free will. But he will select one (1) random suffering individual in a random poor village and alleviate one (1) piece of suffering. Very epic
motherfuckers will sincerely say with zero self awareness that God "saved them" because they survived like a natural disaster or mass shooting where everyone else died.
This kid is NOT my patron saint. The patron saint of the internet is pro-gamer FAZE_DARKSIDE who holds the highest k/d ratio in Counter Strike history.
Blasphemous apropriation. Internet is the first true manifestation of Machine God's will to His chosen people and His avatar, therefore the first coming of Omnissiah.
Praise be!
do they say how many people had a relic and still died? im gonna bet noooooo. i fuckin hate catholicism.
I can confirm. I once touched his dakimakura and no woman has ever bothered me again. Miracles are real, folks. Praise jesus!

When I die, I'm donating all my old socks and dirty underwear to the Catholic Church to be archived and distributed as relics.
Okay so I’m all for the idea that you only get declared a saint after death. That makes sense to me. And I’m fine with determining posthumously that things they did were in fact miracles.
What I’m not cool with is the miracles happening posthumously. I feel like you should have to perform the miracles while alive, it has to be a semi-conscious act. You can’t just say “Oh my blindness was healed and it’s because of a random dead Italian kid”
Moot is the demiurge. No, I will not explain.
I love how the church puts on a big show about "verifying" all of its canonizations as if they aren't just making stuff up and believing urban legends.
Why were they keeping his shit as relics before he was a saint?
Because he was 15 and his parents weren't going to throw their dead child stuff in the trash. Besides, he was really close with the Catholic Church and even made a website for his local church. People, even non-catholics, really liked him because it seems he was a pretty chill boy. Because of that before becoming a saint, he was titled a Servant of God and worthy of veneration.

~~Car~~lo ~~A~~cutis
lo cutis
Dudes got fucking Nike's on, does that mean the pope endorses groping a pair of Nike's on a corpses feet to get healed? Deeply unserious religion
