Besides his faith, Acutis played Halo, Super Mario, and Pokémon. He played the saxophone, loved animals, and produced humorous videos with his dogs. His relaxed profile captured global devotees.
The Catholic Church requires two miracles for canonization. With both recognized, the ceremony should be rescheduled after the installation of the new pope.
Carlo Acutis combines faith and modernity, inspiring young Catholics. The suspension of the canonization is temporary, but his story has already marked the Church.
