There was a Costa Rican student, a girl, who was studying in Florence, Italy, and had a bicycle accident and had a traumatic brain injury. It was very bad, and the mom came. And Florence is not so, so far from Assisi, where Carlo is buried. And she made the trip. It was about two hours away. And she made the trip to Assisi, prayed. At this point in time, his body is on display for veneration.

And that's really fascinating how he looks. And it's a really important part of his story. He's in jeans and Nikes and, you know, that kind of thing. Very, very relatable. And she prayed. The mom prayed in front of the church. the sarcophagus. And when she got back to Florence, apparently her daughter was, was awake and, you know, inexplicably cured from that.

So that was verified at the end of last year by Pope Francis and he declared, okay, everything is set and we're going to do this, this ceremony during the Jubilee year. And unfortunately he didn't, he didn't last, but I know that that was, that was a big, it's a big deal for him because, because, you know, he,

This new saint really epitomizes all of the messaging that Pope Francis has done and kind of the reforms of the church.

There's a lot. He officially canonized 942 saints. Whoa. That's a lot. I do have to say that number sounds bigger than it is because 813 of those were actually one group of martyrs from the 1400s. So, but even if you take away, you know, you count that as one, that's still like 150, you know, saints for 12 years. You know, he did Mother Teresa, you know, at the beginning. He also did three popes.

He did all the three modern popes, Pope John XXIII, who started Vatican II, Pope Paul VI, who kind of concluded Vatican II, and then Pope John Paul II as well. So, you know, those four are really huge saints. And then Carlo would have been the fifth really, you know, major kind of rock star kind of saints that people still remembered that they related to that they had, you know, in their mind.

I think he is. And I think, you know, Mother Teresa is a great example, more than Pope John Paul II, because, you know, there are kind of two classes of these saints. There's the popular saints, and then there's kind of the religious people like popes and priests, who a lot of people don't really even identify with, but, you know... The church hierarchy kind of makes saints.
