Giuseppe Toniolo was beatified on April 29, 2012, the first economist to be raised to the honors of the altar. A prophet of Rerum Novarum — Pope Leo XIII's encyclical considered the foundation of modern Catholic social teaching — Toniolo (1845-1918) called for 'a capitalist economy epitomized by the lending of capital to the enterpriser [to] be replaced with a human economy par excellence, so that capital may become a follower and ally of the industrious man.'
In today's globalized economy, Toniolo's lesson and prophecy need a universal hearing. They offer solid foundations for the science and practice of economics and the urgent renewal of a fragile global system in favor of the poor and the common good.

Rerum Novarum
In his encyclical letter Rerum Novarum, Pope Leo XIII takes up the condition of the working classes and the challenges facing the world following the Industrial Revolution, focusing on the relationship between labor and capital, the rights of workers, and the role of the Church in promoting justice. Promulgated in 1891, this foundational text has shaped Catholic social teaching and influenced more than a century of the Church's balanced approach to defending workers' rights while upholding the right to private property and rejecting socialism.

Carlo Acutis: The First Millennial Saint
Carlo Acutis was a little “different” at school, in the pizzerias, and on the soccer field. What set Carlo apart was his constant pursuit of holiness. In addition to his fun hobbies, he spent time teaching catechism classes and serving in soup kitchens. Carlo loved to attend daily Mass and frequent Eucharistic adoration. The Word of God and the Eucharist were the center of his life. Carlo’s unwavering devotion to the Eucharist inspired him to tell the story of Eucharistic miracles through a website he created just for fun.
Carlo died from a sudden and violent illness in 2006 at the age of fifteen. In less than a decade, his story spread across Italy and around the world. After Pope Francis declared him venerable in 2018, his beatification was celebrated in Assisi on October 10, 2020. The next step will be canonization, making him the first millennial saint.
