Carlo Acutis, an Italian teenager who passed away in 2006, will be canonized today in Assisi, attracting millions of pilgrims. Although many believe in his miracles, there are voices that contest the speed of the canonization process, suggesting that the Catholic Church is looking for a "saint of Generation Z" to reconnect young people with faith. Critics emphasize that his wealthy family significantly contributed to the costs of canonization, which are estimated in millions of dollars. This situation raises questions about the integrity of the canonization process in the context of recent scandals in the Church.
