I'm not going to get into a debate on whether Carlo Acutis is a saint. Frankly, I leave all these modern saint declarations up to God. I don't believe the Church is infallible in these declarations anymore - simply based upon many of those, particularly popes, whom it has canonized and the claims made on their alleged miracles. None for John XXIII and a dubious one for Paul VI. There are exceptions for any age, St. Pio, St. Charbel and St. John Henry Newman and a few others amongst them. They are Saints, notwithstanding. As for the rest? Well, if they are, I don't need to maintain a particular devotion,
We need to be harshly critical of the Church for promoting an image of a "saint" with a corporate logo.
As much as it might offend, I have always found these "coffin" images macabre to say nothing of the digging up of their resting bones. One can think of Cadfael - A Morbid Taste For Bones!
NIKE has just announced the production of 666 numbered pairs of Satanic shoes containing blood in the souls. I won't post the pictures, just the link here to Breitbart. Caution: disturbing.
If Carlo Accutis is a Saint, may he intercede by begging God to send down lighting to destroy these corporate images everywhere they have been placed where the logo defiles the sacred space reserved for God.

Good observations. I too have no particular devotion to Bl. Carlo but I ask, who buries a loved one in a gym outfit? At one time, Catholics were buried in their Sunday best; women veiled as they would at Holy Mass, rosary in hands clasped in prayer. Ready to participate in the liturgy of Heaven, as it were.
The statue in the photo you posted is another nod to the obsession with so called "youth ministry", another failed, misguided effort of the post conciliar church. In some places these "ministries" were recruiting grounds for ephebophiles and in others, assignments for intellectually challenged though "cool" younger priests who wear jeans and sneakers with their clerical shirt and whom our aging hierarchs see as magical instructors of "youtes". Millions of dollars have been spent on failed youth programs. Youth ministers became de rigueur even if a parish couldn't afford them. Silliness and immaturity or more of it was incorporated into the liturgy to pander to spoiled children who after all this couldn't tell you how many commandments there are! Resources wasted chasing after the winds of relevance. Vanity of vanities.
This is just another example of a church that has lost its way. Young people need guidance, sobriety and a challenge. Those who are older know this and those who by God's grace have come to realize this even though they grew up during the confusion if the post-conciliar revolution, understand that this is what our young people need. TRADITION. The faster all this silliness comes to an end, the better. The scamdemic had expedited the collapse of the antichurch. It cannot come soon enough. "Youth ministry" is an exercise in futility; babysitting at best, pandering to ignorant but entitled geeks at worst who think that the Church should do their bidding or else...
That's a trend we see a lot of now ,young people been laid out in their favourite football Jersey's,I've heard news casters refer to some footballers as god's ,same with celebrity chefs,their meals are not just delicious,but divine.Cult of celebrity ,now we have the covid cult.
“At first I thought his appearance was unseemly, but now he has the air of the gods who dwell in the wide heaven". Homer. The Odyssey
I guess the Romans have too much time reading the Classics during this Covid nonsense, rather than going out to the peripheries and taking care of all those unemployed Italians who have had their businesses and lives destroyed. Such are then ingrained bad habits of the Renaissance Prince.
It’s fake. Fake church, fake religion, fake popes, fake bishops, fake sacraments, fake saints. The entire New Order; it is all fake fake fake. Tricking us only gets the Devil so far; he needs sin to be committed in full knowledge. They are displaying this poor baby in his Nike sneakers and a track suit to make a mockery of sanctity and our faith. They want you to KNOW that you are following a false religion masquerading as the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Can’t you guys see this? Demand our CATHOLIC Bishops elect a Pope. PLEASE. What if God will allow this as long as we are negligent and follow some religion that is ANTI-Catholic? I’m just saying, what if God expects us to elect a Pope as every generation before us did and he’s just like if they won’t then I guess I won’t find faith on Earth when I return. Write a traditional Bishop, it’s worth just sending a brief note reminding them that we need a Pope.
Erratum: Title should read "Novus Ordo Counterfeit Church promotes NIKE and its Satanic shoes".
Explicandum: The Catholic Church cannot give evil doctrines and practices to the faithful. The conciliar Novus Ordo church has done just that.
Melanie, I couldn’t have said it better.
Nike .........recants their endorsement.
The 'Pope" does not...........figures !
