I've never believed in god, but I think I can believe in saints now after Saint Luigi and Saint Javelin

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 25 points 2 days ago

on a personal level this is hella cringe but from a social perspective i love this so much

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 2 days ago

Merry Christmas Luigi!!!

🎄 🎁 🙏🏻

It's almost going to be disappointing if we find out he was framed

[–] bigschnitz@lemmy.world 43 points 3 days ago (2 children)

You mean that what appeared to be a meticulously planned and masterfully executed assassination, such that there was little to no usable camera footage wasn't likely to be undone the perp wandering around with a written confession and the murder weapon days later?

I'm shocked there haven't been more conspiracy theories on this.

[–] newDayRocks@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

You need a second such incident for the conspiracy to work. Because the implication is that the real saint is out there working his miracles.

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago

Agreed. I always wondered how two different backpacks came into the picture.

And it would explain the drones in the tristate as they could be useful for finding the suspect.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 37 points 3 days ago

It would be the worst kind of mindfuck for him if he was just some radical centrist tech bro who got framed of a crime, sanctified in the public opinion, and then proven to be innocent. Like that's the shit therapists' accountants dream of

[–] granolabar@kbin.melroy.org 25 points 3 days ago

Guilty or not, convicted or not... He is just a symbol either way.

This is about the corruption within US systems esp health insurance.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

You know, I feel like the thousands of people thirsting after him would be a pretty good ego boost at least. Enough to make up for the psychological torture of being framed? Probs not, buuuuuutttt...

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 144 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He was arrested for US healthcare's sins.

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 50 points 3 days ago (4 children)

And on the third trial he was freed again.

Pope Francis has the opportunity to do the funniest thing here

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 69 points 4 days ago (16 children)

I was ready to point out that this was not possible because canonisation requires the person have performed two miracles, but then I found out that there is actually a pathway without that:

Very rarely, a Pope may waive the requirement… if he, the Sacred College of Cardinals, and the Congregation for the Causes of Saints all agree that the Blessed lived a life of great merit proven by certain actions.

Print it out and put it in your wallet to ward against high insurance rates.

People are unironicaly going to use him in religion in the future.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

He's more sainty than most christian saints. St Benedicts "miracle":

Book 2 of the Dialogues of Pope Gregory is about St. Benedict, and chapter 1 is titled “How he made a broken sieve whole and sound”:

It fell so out that his nurse borrowed of the neighbors a sieve to make clean wheat, which being left negligently on the table, by chance it was broken in two pieces, Whereupon she fell pitifully weeping, because she had borrowed it. The devout and religious youth Benedict, seeing his nurse so lamenting, moved with compassion, took away with him both the pieces of the sieve, and with tears fell to his prayers; and after he had done, rising up he found it so whole, that the place could not be seen where before it was broken.

https://blog.plover.com/religion/st-benedict.html#:~:text=Book%202%20of%20the%20Dialogues,where%20before%20it%20was%20broken.

So Benedict fixed a collander by crying on it and earned sainthood for it. Clearly none of us is worthy to behold such holiness as that. You couldnt make this flaming garbage up if you tried.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

weird misinformation?

if you actually read any biography or even wikipedia article you will find a whole host of reasons including healing miracles, exorcisms, and completely non-miraculous things like founding monastaries and writings that also played a role in his sainthood.

so your citation, while true, is just drastically misleading by implying this colander thing was somehow the only reason the dude gets to be saint. in the end i even agree with your rhetorical goals, but there’s no need to lie to get there? i’m not even a theological scholar i just… know how to read wikipedia.

It is impressive I guess. Even if that's his only superpower, and yeah it is a lame super specific superpower, it's more than you or I can do and if I watched someone do it I'd be impressed because I did not believe it was possible

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

A good glue job takes skill, its true. Well ...ok. Sainthood.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If he is a catholic then I pray that he becomes a legit saint for what he did.

Are there any more images? This one looks pretty good, but the title promised me multiple images.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 54 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If you download this image, then that's 2 images.
