that’s adorable. I like the frog looking one, as my name implies.
Oh god, I can’t help but see the reflection in their eyes as a hand with way too many fingers
I didn’t notice this before reading your comment, but now I can’t unsee this
The Catholic Church has a new mascot.
It’s a small child.
And you know there will be a ton of rule34 made… There’s just pedos everywhere…
Oh my god yeah.
“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!”
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?
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.
In the pocket of the green one - is that a pedobear?
Maybe they are trying to expaind theor Japanese market
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?
They shouldve just asked permission to use Alexander Anderson. My favorite fictional Catholic.

Because an official anime boy mascot would be too apropos?
There’s more than the one who are (I assume*) boys, also I don’t understand what you mean by ‘would be too apropos’, could you explain?
* I assume because I couldn’t find much information about the side characters other than their names Fe, Xin, and Sky. All the references on the Wikipedia page just say their names and include the photo at most or don’t even acknowledge them at the least.
Young boys especially, but young girls too are probably a little touchy for them to use. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_sexual_abuse_cases
I hope this goes the same way as the Tony T Tiger VTuber career
All I hear is, the Vatican is after the young crowd. Imagine that…
🌍🧑🚀🔫👨🚀
For young people? What? That doggo there has me rediscovering my faith
I mean, look, it’s wearing a hat
Finally the Catholics have discovered religion!
Think it took 15 seconds before we had this Obvious NSFW https://rule34.xxx/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=luce_(vatican)
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.
Guys are always ready to work. r63 next?
wtf is r63?
“for every character there is a gender swapped version of that character”
If a male version of a character exists, there’s a female version that someone has made.
Idk what it has to do with the Catholic Waifu though.
There is already, in the r34 link above… Ruleception
Now there is rule 85 version of it.
OFC, I KNEW IT

Haha, need to log in for nsfw…
If there is an internet rule for every character there is a religion swapped version of that character, I’d like to see Pagan/Wicca versions of them like they have moved out of the bible belt (especially Texas) and into a mostly blue state where they can preserve their freedom of religion from certain religious nutjobs.
Make one with a gunstaff that’s still in Texas plz
hurr durr austin.
turn that shit blue then we’ll talk
Heard
So they choose Luce, so close to Lucifer, and they expect the Internet to NOT bring it up? There’s Lucy, Daughter of the Devil on Cartoon Network for shit’s sake.
Nevermind the connections to Death Note, a far more popular anime about Light Yagami, and the subtle connections between his name and Lucifer the Lightbringer.
This seems so much worse on it’s face, even if you leave out the undertones of children’s abuse by the church and Rule 34 that will come out (which are worse, but the church keeps trying to bury it)
I know nothing about anime, but I guess it is not that bad? Luce is straight up “light” in Italian, and Lucifer just means “the one who brings light” because it’s the Angel’s name, before the fall according to the fairytale. So from their POV it should all make sense.
I dunno, he’s a serial killer trying to remake the world by looking everyone he doesn’t like and it’s pretty mainstream.
Even without that, drawing attention to Light seems weird. Could’ve been “Peace”, “Faith”, or “Love” or whatever.
This is just 12 years of Catholic school talking, but it’s a strange name to pick that ties to a lot of less than desirable stuff.
But Light is like a generic incarnation of god but also knowledge, revelation etc., it’s way more absolute than peace or even love. I think Light does make sense from their perspective, and in the catholic symbolism it is identified basically with all positive stuff.
You had a bunch of other references that make sense eh, I am not familiar with them, so I respect that people might have different perceptions.
I get things like “enlightenment”, etc. But the average person (at least in the US) that isn’t already Catholic has a strong possibility of already being told they aren’t real Christians, and isn’t going to know or care about etymology, and will assume it’s Lucifer. They could call the main character Satin after the cloth and it’s have the same effect, even though they aren’t related.
Don’t apologize for their systemic pedophilia, et al.
Uh?
Luce means light in Italian. Lucifer means “light bringer” and the mythos is about trying to steal the light (luce) of god. It doesn’t mean “luce” is bad.
I guess the Catholic church overestimated the education of its followers.
It’s simple word association. I’m aware of the Latin translations. I’m also aware that most people are not going to think about it too long, and immediately going to jump to conclusions. They also believe in Bigfoot. What end of the Bell curve are we talking about, here?
yeah thats gonna clean up their image
Really surprising it isn’t a teenage boy.
Hmmm.
Are they ignorant to the “art” that will be created inspired by this, or was that their intention?
They’re using childish cartoon characters to attract young children to the church. I don’t think they care who does what with the characters as long as they get more kiddies to diddle.
