Canonization of Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati, the first saints of Pope Leo XIV on 9/7/2025

Carlo Acutis was only 15 years old when he died of leukemia. It seems he was a very devoted Christian, but a saint?

I personally don't find Carlo Acutis to convincing to be declared a saint. Is this a desperate measure by the Vatican? Is the Vatican lowering its standards for canonization?

According to Wikipedia: "he created a website documenting Eucharistic miracles and Marian apparitions.". He also converted his Brahmin personal teacher and other individuals to be baptized.

Caveat: I am not familiar with the live and deeds of Carlo Acutis.

"Blessed Carlo Acutis and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati will be declared saints in the Catholic Church on Sunday, Sept. 7, at the Vatican. ..."
