The canonisation of teen 'Internet
saint' Carlo Acutis, scheduled for Sunday April 27, has been
suspended due to the pope's death, the Vatican said Monday.
Acutis, a student from Lombardy who died from leukaemia at the
age of 15 in 2006 and became a model of Christian life for many
young believers as well as a sort of 'patron saint of the
internet', will be canonised after being beatified on 10 October
2020 in Assisi.
Last May Pope Francis said Acutis had qualified to become a
saint after another miracle was ratified for him.
The second miracle that has earned him his saint's spurs was the
miraculous healing of a young Costa Rican girl.
Acutis has been fast-tracked to sainthood
