A new film about Carlo Acutis, the teen set to become the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint, is shaking up Hollywood with its message of faith over chaos. Conservative filmmaker Jim Wahlberg’s Carlo Acutis: Roadmap to Reality throws grit in the face of today’s woke culture by showcasing a young man who chose holiness over TikTok fame.
Carlo wasn’t your average kid. Born in 1991, he mastered coding before most teens could tie their shoes. But he didn’t waste his talents on video games or social media clout. Instead, he built websites tracking Eucharistic miracles – proving faith and technology can mix. His life screams rebellion against a generation lost in screens and selfishness.
This future saint died at 15 from leukemia, but not before showing staggering courage. While modern culture tells kids to rage against suffering, Carlo embraced his cross with a smile. His final words? “I’m happy to die because I’ve lived my life without wasting a minute.” Try finding that resilience in today’s participation-trophy crowd.
Wahlberg’s film punches back at Hollywood’s anti-Christian bias. It’s packed with Carlo’s own home videos – a teen laughing with friends, coding, and kneeling in prayer. No CGI, no agenda. Just raw proof that sainthood isn’t about ancient history. It’s happening now, in our TikTok era.
The flick’s timing couldn’t be sharper. As schools push transgender ideology and erase God, Carlo’s story reminds parents: faith still wins. He attended Mass daily in a world where churches empty faster than shopping malls. He served soup to the homeless while influencers staged fake charity stunts.
Liberal critics will hate this. No gender fluidity here – just a boy who loved soccer, his saxophone, and Jesus. Carlo’s canonization, expected next year, is a gut punch to atheist elites. The Vatican just confirmed his second miracle, involving a college student healed through his prayers. Science can’t explain it. Faith can.
Roadmap to Reality isn’t preaching to the choir. Wahlberg wants this in secular theaters – the same ones pushing drag queen story hours. It’s a bold move, backed by Fox News’ spotlight. The film’s limited run forces viewers to choose: another Marvel flick, or a real hero who outshines any superhero?
Carlo’s story is ammunition for parents fighting to save their kids from cultural rot. He proves millennials can be saints, not snowflakes. As darkness spreads, this film lights a bonfire of hope. Catch it now before Hollywood tries to bury it – and take your kids. They’ll meet a rebel who changed eternity without ever cursing the light.
