MALMÖ, Sweden (OSV News) -- While many Catholics around the world rejoiced upon hearing the news that Pope Francis had approved a second miracle attributed to Blessed Carlo Acutis, none was happier than his mother, Antonia Salzano.
'We were very happy, of course, as you can imagine,' Salzano said in a telephone interview with OSV News May 24. 'It was great news because we were waiting for this declaration -- especially for all the devotees he has around the world.'
