JUST FYI POD: CULTURE: "Carlo Acutis, the Internet, and Sainthood in the 21st Century"

from JUST FYI POD: Conversations about Culture, Ideas, and Life · host Christopher B. Barnett

The main task of JUST FYI POD: CULTURE's third season is to discuss "The Future of American Christianity: A Conversation in Ten Questions." On today's episode, my cohost Amy Welborn and I wrestle with the following question: "What does the canonization of Carlo Acutis (1991-2006) mean for our understanding of sainthood and holiness in the 21st Century?" Topics include: the life of St. Carlo (whose feast was celebrated just yesterday), the ambiguous media coverage of his canonization, the nature of sainthood in general, and the Church's relation to, and teaching on, the Internet.Please visit JUST FYI (cbarnett.substack.com) for more details and much more content.
