The Trade of 'Holy' Relics and the Upgrade of Religion
Share on:

The trade of 'holy' relics is being upgraded, with the Catholic Church trying to attract new believers through the canonization of Carlo Acutis, an Italian-British teenager who died in 2006 from leukemia. The Vatican has attributed two 'miracles' to him and is promoting relics and objects that belonged to him, such as hair and clothing, at prices reaching £2,000. A bishop has described this trade as a fraud.

At the same time, politicians are attempting similar upgrades, targeting young people. The case of Charlie Kirk, a Trump influencer, who was murdered, is mentioned. In Cyprus, the Church is called upon to modernize and reach out to young people, while the monks of Avvakoum Monastery are mentioned.

The question posed is what exactly God has for everyone and whom it concerns.
