The Catholic Church is getting two powerful new saints tomorrow, and liberals won’t like what these young men represent. Pier Giorgio Frassati and Carlo Acutis will be canonized by Pope Leo XIV in Rome on September 7th. These aren’t your typical old-school saints from centuries past.
Both men died young but packed more virtue into their short lives than most people manage in 80 years. Frassati died at just 24 in 1925 after dedicating his life to helping the poor in Italy. Acutis will become the Church’s first millennial saint, showing that holiness isn’t dead in the digital age.
What makes these saints so important is how they lived as faithful Catholics while the world around them embraced godlessness. Frassati grew up with agnostic parents who thought his deep faith was too extreme. Sound familiar to any conservative parents watching their kids get brainwashed in schools today.
Instead of following the crowd, these young men chose God over popularity. They put service to others ahead of selfish pleasures that consume most young people. While their peers chased worldly success, Frassati and Acutis chased eternal truth.
Pope John Paul II called Frassati the man of the beatitudes because he lived out Christian values every single day. He didn’t just talk about helping people like today’s virtue-signaling celebrities. He actually rolled up his sleeves and served the needy in his community.
These saints prove that young people are hungry for real meaning, not the empty promises of secular culture. While the left pushes kids toward materialism and moral confusion, the Church offers something better. It offers purpose, discipline, and eternal hope.
The timing of this canonization couldn’t be more perfect as America’s youth face a crisis of faith and direction. These saints show that choosing God over the world leads to real happiness and fulfillment. That message threatens everything the liberal establishment wants young people to believe.
Conservative families should celebrate these new saints and use their stories to inspire the next generation. In a world that worships technology and self-gratification, Frassati and Acutis point young people toward something infinitely better. They point toward God.
