KILCORNAN Teenagers: DUBLIN (OSV News) — In rural Limerick, three
teenage brothers are turning Lego into a tool for evangelization as
Blessed Carlo Acutis continues to inspire a new generation of digital
evangelists. In the small rural parish of Kilcornan in Irish Limerick
County, the boys have produced a professional and instructive
stop-motion animation film about the millennial saint. “We wanted to
reach people of our own age,” 16-year-old Louis Flynn explained to OSV
News. “Carlo really inspired all three of us. He was a normal teenager
who loved football and video games, but he also had a profound love
for the Eucharist. He lived in the same kind of world as we do —
surrounded by technology. Everybody uses it, but not everyone is using
it in the way that God wants us to use it. Carlo used it to glorify
God. That really resonated.”

SUPPORT: CNA Staff, Jun 7, 2025 /
After years of therapy with certain patients, Catholic psychologist
Greg Bottaro felt “stuck.” “I had poured myself into them for seven or
eight years, but despite all that effort, we weren’t reaching real
breakthroughs,” Bottaro explained. “Deep down, I knew there had to be
a better way.”
During a subsequent sabbatical, Bottaro had an idea: therapy inspired
by Christ’s “model of accompaniment.” It wouldn’t be a week-to-week
check-in, where Bottaro said clients often forgot the problems they
meant to ask about, or run up against the session time constraints.
Instead, Bottaro’s vision involved 24-hour access to a therapist — not
through paragraph-long texts or late-night phone calls but through
voice messages.

SICK
When the Irish census was taken, returns were obtained respecting
disease, and a curious and interesting report, embodying the result of
this inquiry, has been presented to Parliament. It is supposed that no
such account has ever been taken in any country. The number of the
sick in Ireland on the 30th of March, 1851, was 104,495, or about 1 in
every 62. of the population — somewhere about five-sevenths of the
number who die in a year. In order, however, to find how many of the
population were by circumstances unavailable as working members of the
community, we are reminded that we must take into account 250,611
persons who were inmates of workhouses, 3,436 confined in lunatic
asylums, 2,271 in asylums for the aged and infirm, 3,839 in hospitals,
and 15,609 in prisons, amounting in all to 275,766 persons provided
for by the country, while 48,291 were labouring under sickness at
their own homes; altogether amounting to 324,057 persons, or one in
every 201/4 of the community. This amount of unavailable population
differs materially in the four provinces, and the variation exhibits
in some degree the proportion of poverty, sickness, and crime in these
different localities. Thus, in Ulster, we find one in 47.36; in
Leinster, 1 in 22.63; in Connaught, 1 in 20.19; and in Munster, 1 in
11.78. The Census Commissioners reckoned the deaf-dumb, the dumb, the
blind, and the insane among the sick. There was one person deaf and
dumb in every 1,380 of the community, the total number being 4,747,
and seven-eighths of them were born deaf and dumb. There were 433
persons dumb, but not deaf-also mostly born so; they were generally
paralytic or idiotic, but there were instances of persons dumb only,
without other defect. Nearly 100 of the deaf and dumb were married,
and there were six instances of the intermarriage of deaf and dumb
persons; of the 216 children of all these marriages only two were deaf
and dumb. Muteism, it appears, is often manifest in several members of
a family derived from a common stock, but the defect is seldom
transmitted direct from parents to children. Generally the deaf mute
was one only in a family of several children, oftenest the first or
the last child; in one instance the 29th child, all the 29 being born
of the same parents. Only 232 of the deaf and dumb were in public
institutions for the instruction of persons so afflicted.
Deaf-dumbness prevails most in the rural districts presenting mountain
ranges. There were 7,587 blind persons — one in every 864; more than
half of them were married, and two-thirds were above 40 years old; 19
persons were deaf, dumb, and blind. There were 5,074 lunatics (one in
every 1,291), and 4,906 idiots (one in every 1,336), the great
majority of the latter so born; above 1,000 of the lunatics and above
3,500 of the idiots were neither in asylums, gaols, nor workhouses.
The Census Commissioners remark that the number of those who are at
large demands the serious attention of the State. Of the 250,611
persons in workhouses, 42,474 were labouring under disease; of the
15,609 persons (debtors, accused, and criminals) in prisons, 1,072.
There were 577 debtors in prison; the prisoners convicted of crimes
were one in 526 of the population.
Of the whole number of the sick in Ireland, 1 in 118 had smallpox, 1
in 30 influenza (partially epidemic at the time), 1 in 189 was in
childbed, 1 in 10 had disease of the chest. 191 persons were returned
(chiefly from hospitals and by the police) as ill from the effects of
cold, exposure, or starvation. 501 of the sick were under one year
old; 464 were 90 and upwards. More were between 10 and 15, than of any
other period of life.

NO “HARNESSING” OF TIDE
A scheme to use tidal power for the generation of electricity will not
be included in Eire’s plans for post-war development. Some weeks ago
Mr. Frank Gibney, M.Inst.R.A., Dublin, submitted a proposal which, was
explained by him in an article he contributed to the “Limerick Leader”
for the use of tidal power to the Minister for Industry and Commerce.
Now the Minister has replied, stating that, while he is advised that
the use of tidal waters in the generation of electricity is considered
to be technically feasible, the capital cost in relation to other
means of generation would be so High.
