Catholic Church canonizes teenager engaged in missionary work on the worldwide web

In Italy, the beatification of the Milan schoolboy Carlo Akutis took place. For Catholicism, this is a traditional act preceding the reckoning of a deceased person to the host of saints.
Carlo was born in Great Britain to Italian immigrants. Shortly after birth, he moved with his parents to Milan, where he grew up and attended school. Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ was the foundation of Carlo's spiritual life. The boy suffered from leukemia, from which he died at the age of fifteen in 2006.

During his lifetime, Carlo spent a lot of time on the Internet, engaged in missionary activities: he conveyed the essence of Catholic dogmas to people, posted videos about miraculous phenomena, posted prayers, helped those wishing to create and launch doctrinal sites, answered questions from people looking for their way to the temple. All the money earned by programming and other activities related to the Internet, the young man spent on charity. Already before the beatification, many visitors to Christian resources on the Internet called Akutis, who passed away to the Lord, the “patron saint of the Internet”.
