Candidates for sainthood require two distinct miracles attributed to them: Acutis was first beatified in 2020 after a Brazilian boy with a pancreatic defect was cured, following his mother’s prayers to Acutis to help her son. The second miracle involves the reported healing of a Costa Rican girl who suffered a serious head injury after falling off her bike in Florence: her mother prayed for the girl’s recovery at Acutis’ tomb in Assisi, and her daughter made a full recovery.
Nah, basically, the logic is that since he allegedly healed her, that he is apparently alive in heaven and no longer in purgatory. Thus becoming a saint as his salvation has been “proven”
A blind study should be performed for a proper empirical proof. Sample size of two is not going to cut it either. Pump those numbers up to reach statistical significance.
Feels like we could get two miracles attributed to that famous painter, just for shit & giggles, having a Saint Hitler would be funny (if not for the distress caused to the survivors). Other satins have a much lower kill ratios (up to a few thousand only??).
(And ofc /s, choosing saints is a completely political process addressing Church’s needs.)
Quite, uh, remarkable “miracles”.
So people were praying to random dead people? How does that work? Doesn’t make more sense to thanks the medics that treated those kids?
I feel like maybe Acurtis 360 no scoped that girl off the bike, then came back in as a healer and brought her back to full health.
…kind of cheating.
According to Carlin’s theory, 4 prayers to Joe Pesci (PBUH) should suffice for sainthood.
Joe Pesci: patron saint of smashing things with a baseball bat.
wait isn’t it the mom who should be a saint then?
