A London-born teenager - whose proficiency at spreading the teachings of the Catholic church online led to him being called "God's influencer" - is set to become a saint.
It follows Pope Francis attributing a second miracle to him.
It involved the healing of university student in Florence who had bleeding on the brain after suffering head trauma.
Carlo Acutis had been beatified - the first step towards sainthood - in 2020, after he was attributed with his first miracle - healing a Brazilian child of a congenital disease affecting his pancreas.
And this is just freaky
His body was moved to Assisi a year after his death, and it currently resides on full display alongside other relics linked to him.
I love the idea of meeting someone…
“So what do you do then?”
“Oh, I work in the Vatican’s Saint making department”
