#2 They made the kid a saint because he created a website? Please tell me I am reading this wrong.

I realize some may find HTML mysterious and ineffable, but it's not exactly DaVinci Code.

#4 Re #2. He's being called 'Blessed' because of his intercession in a miraculous healing. Per the article:

"This latest miracle attributed to Acutis involved the healing of a young woman from Costa Rica who suffered a serious head injury in a bike accident.

On July 8, 2022, Liliana [the girl's mother] prayed at Blessed Carlo’s tomb in Assisi, leaving a letter describing her plea. Six days earlier, on July 2, her daughter Valeria had fallen from her bicycle in Florence, where she was attending university," said Vatican News.

The girl suffered "severe head trauma" in the accident, said Vatican News; doctors had to remove part of her skull to relieve pressure on her brain. They were not optimistic that she would survive.

Liliana's secretary, who was devoted to Acutis, began praying for his intercession, said Vatican News. The day after she visited his tomb, the injured girl began to breathe on her own — and her recovery continued at a rapid, inexplicable pace.

The girl made a full recovery and required only a week of rehabilitation.

On July 18, a CAT scan proved that her hemorrhaging had disappeared, and on Aug. 11 Valeria was moved to rehabilitation therapy," said Vatican News.

She made a full recovery and required only a week of rehabilitation.

She herself made a pilgrimage to Acutis' tomb on Sept. 2, said Vatican News.
