An Italian teenager, Carlo Acutis, is set to become the Catholic Church's first millennial saint after his cause for canonization was approved by church authorities. Acutis, who passed away from leukemia at the age of 15 in 2006, gained recognition for using his computing skills to spread awareness of the Catholic faith, earning him the nickname 'God's influencer.'
The process of being recognized as a saint in the Catholic Church can often take decades, but Acutis' cause has progressed swiftly, with the teenager amassing a devoted following worldwide. Known for his casual attire of jeans and trainers, Acutis' story has resonated with Catholic youth groups, making him a popular figure among the younger generation.
