***The Telegraph reports:***
A London-born teenager is to become the Roman Catholic Church’s first millennial saint.
Carlo Acutis, who was born in 1991 and died of leukaemia aged 15, has been suggested as a patron saint of the internet owing to his passion for computer programming and building websites.
On Thursday, the Pope decreed that a second posthumous miracle had been attributed to Acutis, meaning he is eligible for canonisation.
Previously the most recent birth date of the 912 people canonised by Pope Francis was 1926.
Acutis was born in London to an Italian mother and a half-Italian, half-English father who was a banker, but the family moved to Milan when he was a young child.
Antonia Salzano said her son was devout from a young age, taking daily communion, helping classmates whose parents were getting divorced, challenging bullies targeting disabled students, and donating meals and sleeping bags to the homeless.
He also created a webpage that documented suspected miracles that had occurred around the world.
The teenager died in 2006 following a leukaemia diagnosis, but is said to have told his parents: “I’m happy to die because I’ve lived my life without wasting even a minute of it doing things that wouldn’t have pleased God.”
He has since built a worldwide following of devotees who view him as a role model for modern youth.
The Catholic religion teaches that you can pray to the dead and ask them to speak to God on your behalf, with many hoping to be cured of illness or injury.
If that person then recovers in the face of slim odds, the Vatican can class it as a miracle.
If two miracles are attributed to someone who is dead and the two events are validated by the Pope, then the deceased qualifies for sainthood.
