Is this some kind of moe anthroprism?
The Catholic Church has a new mascot.
It's a small child.
"How do we distract from all the child molestation?"
"Loli mascot?"
"Genius, go out and buy a 3d printer so I can get my hands on her ASAP!"
And you know there will be a ton of rule34 made.... There's just pedos everywhere...
Oh my god yeah.
We're about 5 years away from the Vatican releasing shotacon.
That's a funny way of saying AI filtered altar boys
Yay! But wait, what?
Think it took 15 seconds before we had this Obvious NSFW https://rule34.xxx/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=luce_%28vatican%29

Haha, need to log in for nsfw..
I can't be sure this was the primary use-case that the AI inventors envisioned, but it's hard to argue that it's not successful at this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
All technology isn't created for porn, but it is immediately used for it. I'm ~90% sure the Apollo missions were trying to find green chicks to fuck like in Star Trek.
Numbers are down, release the waifu! Common business strategy with ancient roots.
I'd say the mascot is clearly a child, but the Catholic Church...
Looks kinda like that Chickpea comic.
it looks like if raincoats were hijabs...
Who are they trying to appeal to with this, are they launching a vatican sponsored cocomelon clone?
They shouldve just asked permission to use Alexander Anderson. My favorite fictional Catholic.
Designed by tokidoki 😑 what even is this timeline.
August 6th 1945: a small forgotten shrine in Hiroshima gets obliterated by the nuclear blast of Little Boy. This was one of the seven shrines holding the fabrics of spacetime together. Slowly spacetime starts to unravel, in the beginning nothing seems unusual but slowly the timeline becomes more and more unlikely. Can our hero stop the unraveling in time?
The dog shit on their boots is a nice touch.
I just had a realization based on your comment; Their boots are dirty because they are walking through a world of shit. That is a core tenant of Christianity. They get to cop out on trying to make anything better by just saying "oh well, the world is shitty, get believers to make god daddy happy and then die." That lines up with Trump's thematic message of America being some over run, crime infested wasteland. It is the hook by which Trump catches the Christians.
yeah thats gonna clean up their image
Something something "the power of god and anime on my side"
Luce? Like Lucifer? Lol.
Yes; "Luce" is Italian for "Light' and "Lucifer" is Latin for "light bearer". They are cognates.
So whoever carries that anime figure is literally Luciferian.
"Luz" is an incredibly common name in Spanish speaking countries. It means light. "Luce" means light in Italian, but seems to be less common as a name. Lucifer means "Light-bringer", and the myth of the light-bringer is much, much older than Christianity.
Old religions thought things in the sky were gods. Venus orbits closer to the sun than the Earth, which means light reflecting from it is extremely bright, but that light is only visible near sunrise and sunset. During the rest of the day the brightness of the sun overwhelms the reflected light from Venus, and during the rest of the night it's not visible because it's near the sun, so it's behind the earth. So, old religions talked about the brightest "god" in the sky, who disappeared when it got too bright or too dark. That led to the myth of the god who tried to be the brightest light and was cast down. That, of course, led to Satan, A.K.A. Lucifer.
I guess the Catholic church was giving its followers too much credit in their understanding of words.
Satan == Lucifer is wrong though. Those were two concepts that got conflated together, much beyond their original meaning
Almost everything in any religion is a "telephone game" retelling of things. These days they're the same to most people which is what really matters.
Missed the chance to call her Vati-chan.
Oh damn, in German, "Vati" is an affectionate form like "daddy", except it's the word stem of "father" ("Vater").
And wouldn't you know it, Christians also use "Vater" to refer to priests, the pope and their god.
Luce will also represent the Holy See at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan.
I love this sentence so much.
Lmfao anyone see the movie Dogma, this is modern day Buddy Christ! 😂
Kevin Smith posted on Facebook that this had to be the Catholic Church trolling him for getting back the rights to Dogma and its 29th Anniversary.
🤣
