This article goes on to explain how the vatican, who are trying to reach out to younger people, have created an anime mascot, whose name is Luce (Light in Latin, as we all know).
I just find it funny how the character has blue hair along with blue eyes, Lucifer's color, as well as the character holding a bident (although they describe her as a 'pilgrim') and we all know Lucifer's number is 2.
I feel like this is a sly insult to Our Father, if you ask me..
It immediately pissed me off when I seen this bullshit.

Honestly, I could just be overthinking this, but the subtle use of the color blue, the number 2, and the name, doesn't seem like a coincidence to me.
What do you guys think?

I thought it was cute.

Blue is a standard church color.
Any color they put it in could be seen as an offense, because after all, the Gods represent various colors.

About the name, yes.
They speak Latin
And the meaning was probably supposed to be exactly that "light".
But the literal translation of the name is "shine"

In reaction to the context of the design but which will also open the way to analyzing this piece of wood in the character's hand (yes, a piece of wood)

She's wearing clothes to protect her from the rain, very thick clothes.
It must be a young man on a pilgrimage in the forest or something.

christians are gonna get schizio over this, claiming it’s “proof” the Catholic Church is Satanic…

I agree with you on the point that it could be interpreted in a number of ways.
The name originally caught my attention as they could've chose a number of names, Luce just stood out to me.
Then after looking at the character further, I just picked up on the other characteristics.
I posted this just to get others thoughts on it, so thank you for sharing your input, friend. 💛

I agree that it's cute, as well. What anime characters aren't cute, tho? Lololol

The character was created by Tokidoki, a company that makes LGBT art in a similar style.
So much for "the trad catholic church against modern degeneracy"

This is that "christ-chan" psyop all over again isn't it. Thankfully, I think this will be even less effective that that was.

Exactly what I was thinking. Man, now christians have two waifus. So much for a religion who claims to be against "degeneracy".

Chance it may be that it may be a new variant of a Golem. Though it's cute to be one.

Either way, I can oversee some christian broadcasters going crazy about the Catholics being "muh Zevists" 🤣

Every false doctrine and big business molds itself to modern trends.
If Catholicism remained like Islam, they would be recognized as terrorists too.

They are trying everything to keep their lies alive, anime is a fairly common trend and they need to get the younger generation's attention too.

I thought you said Chris Chan.

That will be the first episode of the show. The christian character verses Sonichu.

Ha, I suppose that'd be pretty fitting since he now apparently believes he is actually the nazerene since getting out of jail.

Ohhh, so that's what it's from. I've seen this character floating around recently and had no idea. I just thought it was from a new show or something.

Mind you, I did see a screenshot of some christian complaining about the vatican using anime to groom kids (hypocritical, as always), but didn't bother looking into it.

Good grief, this just stinks of desperation. They really have been trying so hard of recent to save christianity from dying. It's pathetic.
