I’m not well versed in the saints, but I think this is a better origin story than most.

All we need is a tearful prayer, with a vow towards some further action: even if it’s just in a cell for the rest of his life.

And then he is on the same level, in my opinion, of some medieval saints I know a little about.

Could easily be a saint for denied claims and other obstacles in healing.

I would like to note that Luigi has not been found guilty of anything and that both him deserving the presumption of innocence as well as the shooting being justified can be true at the same time.

The police are trying to convince the public that he did it so they can make a show out of punishing him to deter future acts against the rich, we shouldn't do part of their job for them.

By the rules the catholic church also needs one (or many) testimonies from the faithful that their prayers were answered specifically when they prayed for Luigi to intercede on their behalf.

I never understood intercession, it sounds like God is too busy to return my calls so instead I leave a message with his receptionist?

Exactly, running the universe is hard work.

Please allow me to nerd out here briefly, I really love religions. Like you know how some guys are really into like Warhammer or cars or woodworking? That's me with religions.

Catholics are easily the most hilarious. I cannot believe how many people subscribe to Catholicism, the whole thing feels like parody. This just made it even SILLIER. I'm going to be laughing at the idea of the Catholic God hitting the Heavenly Links and sending me to voicemail until after Christmas. I think it'll be a big hit at the dinner table with the Catholic side of the family and the heathen side alike.
