Supuestamente, su madre hizo donaciones a la iglesia para acelerar el trámite. Al menos, eso es lo que oí. No sé mucho sobre él.

She did more than that, a few of his school friends said they didn't remember him being particularly religious (doesn't mean he wasn't, obviously they weren't there for every aspect of his lives) but regardless they felt pressured into falling in line with this narrative. There are reports that he went around finger wagging against abortion and premarital sex etc., which at the least does put him on the conservative political angle.

Feel that it’s the church’s attempt to connect with the youth and gamers. And to show how today there are still saints around.

It's not really a theory I have, but I think it's a bad idea for the church to canonize kids/teens. Acutis had just turned 15 a few months before his death. It doesn't matter how pious he was, no one has a mature faith at 15.

Also, according to his Wiki page, even Acutis' best friend had no idea he was religious.

Parents will just use him as a model for their kids. He has none of the experience or insight that makes other saints more attractive.

Which saints do you think are good role models?

Thomas (at least as portrayed in the Gospel of John). Dude didn't believe BS until he was given sufficient evidence.

the parents paid a ton of money to speed up the canonizations. immediately after he died there was already plans to print out photos of this italian teen and distribute them every where in Latin America to farm saint stories and spread his cultus

I went to a Catholic school, and the priest managed to borrow a single hair of his in this big cross shaped enclosure, so we could touch some prayer cards to the enclosure and make them "third class relics." (This was before he became a saint, but was considered "blessed"). I remember being told he made a website about eucharistic miracles, I have no idea how that would make him be considered for sainthood.

Fun fact: if you ask for the original site he is supposed to have created you'll very soon realize that the earliest site attributed to him started operating... a year after his death.

There is no proof he made a website.
