Legacy of the Acutis list
Acutis's exhibit has toured in many places across the world.
The listed miracles by Acutis were exhibited across the Archdiocese of Detroit, especially Dearborn. Therefore, children were inspired by the compiled lists that help them to "grow closer to the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament."[26] In Our Lady of Pity's Church, Staten Island, New York, the internationally renowned "Eucharist Miracles of the World" exhibition featured 75 panels that showcase the miracles around the world. This is considered an "inspiring testament to faith and devotion." It holds special significance to his canonization.[27]
List of miracle claims rejected by Church authorities
In the modern era, the Catholic Church's process of discerning miracle claims can conclude that an event was naturally caused.[28] This list includes miracle claims both outright rejected by the Church in this way, along with cases where a relevant Church authority explicitly declined to investigate a case.
| Miracle City | Year | Country | Summary | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oak Cliff | 2006 | United States | Bleeding Host | [29][30] |
| South St. Paul | 2011 | United States | In the process of dissolving a discarded consecrated host in water, red coloration was noticed. The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis found the cause to be fungus. | [31] |
| Kearns | 2015 | United States | A consecrated host appeared to bleed. An investigation by the Diocese of Salt Lake City concluded that "red bread mold" naturally caused the coloration. | [32][33] |
| Buffalo | 2018 | United States | A red coloration was noticed on a host. Bishops of the Diocese of Buffalo declined to investigate. | [34] |
| Morris | 2025 | United States | Spots thought to be blood found on two discarded consecrated hosts. Laboratory analysis showed that these were caused by natural bacteria. | [35][36] |
