Acutis relics up for auction on Web says bishop

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 26 - Relics of Carlo Acutis, a teenager who is set to be canonised next month and is seen as the patron saint of the Internet, are up for auction on the Web, Assisi Bishop Domenico Sorrentino said Wednesday saying he had reported the case to the police.
    Msgr Sorrentino has filed the complaint against person or persons unknown over the alleged Web sale of the blessed Carlo Acutis's relics.
    He did not say what the relics were.
    Perugia prosecutors are looking into the case.
    Acutis's body is preserved in the sanctuary of the Spogliazione at Assisi.
    Acutis, a student from Lombardy who died from leukaemia at the age of 15 in 2006 and became a model of Christian life for many young believers as well as a sort of 'patron saint of the internet', will be canonised during the Roman Catholic Jubilee in April after being beatified on 10 October 2020 in Assisi Last May Pope Francis said Acutis had qualified to become a saint after another miracle was ratified for him.
    The second miracle that has earned him his saint's spurs was the miraculous healing of a young Costa Rican girl.
    Acutis has been fast-tracked to sainthood and will be named a saint by Francis along with the Blessed Giuseppe Allamano, founder of the Consolata Missions. (ANSA).
