Massimo Introvigne, "Who Is Afraid of Catholic Saints? A Strange Campaign Against Carlo Acutis", Bitter Winter (July 7, 2025)
“

Acutis expressed a traditional form of Catholicism and was a staunch believer in transubstantiation. He recognized that many—even among Catholics—do not accept this doctrine and regard the Eucharist as merely symbolic. To counter this skepticism, he dedicated time to documenting miracles related to transubstantiation and sharing them through his blog. …I am unsure if the crowds of young people visiting his grave or who went to Rome for his (later postponed) canonization share his belief in transubstantiation. Nevertheless, they find Acutis more intriguing and engaging than his liberal Catholic or secular critics.
