    • Marie Julie Jehenny suffered ALL the wounds of Christ including the crown of thorns, experienced the Passion every Friday, levitated , prophesied with 100% accuracy and survived on the Eucharist alone for 6 years without emitting any bodily wastes or fluids- yet she is NOT an 'official" Saint- yet.

    • Well, in the cases of Jahenny and Emmerich, there’s another reason the Church has avoided canonizing them.  Since they produced a substantial body of private revelation, their canonization might be construed as the Church’s endorsement of practically everything they (allegedly) wrote.  They may have practiced heroic virtue but that doesn’t mean the Church is prepared to put the weight of its authority behind their private revelations.  We see that even here on CI … “But … but … a saint wrote that, so it must be true.”

    • No reflection of this young man , but the image of the ciborium floating in front of his laptop is a little disconcerting

    • I’m trying really hard to be nice here but it’s very difficult…

    To those slandering Carlos as wearing pricey clothes… did you take a few seconds to look at the image?

    The shirt is claimed to be from Tommy Hilfiger. Yet the classic Tommy Hilfiger logo is not on Carlos’ shirt, therefore it is not Tommy Hilfiger. And let’s suppose it is TH, which is not a luxury brand. Have any of you guys heard of ‘Ross’ or Tjmax, Marshall’s… stores that sell ‘brand’ name clothing that didn’t sell during the season for average prices?

    Let’s move on. Why is anyone believing that his normal shorts and sunglasses are brand name expensive?


    And lastly the Rolex. Does anyone see the brand of the watch? I surely don’t. His hand is turned away from us. How can anyone look at this image and genuinely claim he’s wearing a Rolex? Are you able to see something we can’t in the image?


    This has nothing to do with his sainthood, but the treatment of a deceased young man on this forum is appalling. Image if that were your son, wearing clothes from Ross and tjmax, and here are all these anonymous posters claiming he’s wearing thousand dollar clothes and watch?
    The upturned nose at “modernists” does you no good if you stoop to such levels. Imagine not taking 2 seconds to verify if the boy is indeed wearing a Rolex before slandering him on a catholic forum but claiming your moral compass is somehow reliable enough to pick out what is heresy and what isn’t. Truly amazing.

    Yes, that was me attempting to be nice.

    So, he's the patron saint of laptops?

    • I wouldn't doubt V2 Rome will pump out "saints/blessed" left and right here in the next couple decades. I wonder if they will all have a similar "look" to this young man.

    My thoughts, and response, exactly! The polo shirts are definitely not the same, and we can't see the watch! 
    His parents did have money, but he's not responsible for that, and I read he used to give a lot of what he had, shoes, clothes, etc...
    I agree, he might not be a saint, but he was definitely a very good kid, and he is not responsible for the conciliar church fuss around him!!!

    • Pokémon?  These children don’t know any better.  It’s a no-no.  

    https://www.miamiarch.org/CatholicDiocese.php?op=Catholic%20Lens_archdiocese-of-miami-pokmon-a-marriage-proposal-and-sainthood



    “In November of 2000, Pope John Paul II blessed the Pokémon franchise during a public audience, saying, “Today, I would like to extend a special blessing to all the Pokémon and their trainers. May they bring joy and happiness to the lives of our young people.”     Would a “saint” recommend Pokémon?  In   1993 world youth day when a girl posed as Jesus during stations of the cross….

    Interesting information here ...

    https://www.gloria.tv/post/BQkqjVETLrTS27hxisi31kAV1

    For those who haven't looked, it would appear that his wealthy mother paid for a marketing campaign to promote his "sanctity", having people write books, flyers, etc. ... while people who knew him remarked that he didn't appear to be particularly pious or devout.

    • Yes,  but the Novus Ordo are making a saint this Easter during jubilee of teenagers.  It will once again to interfere with Easter.  It will be occult worship just like Sister Faustina.

    • there is something off about the veneration of this young man. Like so much of 
    the conciliar novus ordo church there is a tackiness that blends in well with a suburban outlet mall
    aesthetic or the mentality of your average Taylor Swift fan. 
    We live in an age of hype and marketing so that even sainthood is sold to us like an annoying
    Liberty Mutual ad.
