Do they still call them “computer wizards”?

In the Vatican, probably they do.

That’s a low bar. Seems like they’re just itching to make someone a saint

Part of this reads like a CV:

Touted as the "patron saint of the internet," Acutis used his natural tech talent to create a website to catalogue miracles and took care of websites for some local Catholic organizations.

He was a self-starter. While still in elementary school, Acutis taught himself to code using a university computer science textbook, and then learned how to edit videos and create animation.
