    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.

    Quite, uh, remarkable “miracles”.

      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.

      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?
