Joe Nickell’s final “Investigative Files” column critically examines the canonization of Carlo Acutis, a tech-savvy teen dubbed the first millennial saint. Nickell explores Acutis’s fascination with Eucharistic miracles and challenges the legitimacy of the “miraculous” healings attributed to him, arguing instead for rational, evidence-based explanations.
