So some of you might have seen a trend as the Vatican announces their plans to bring god and anime on their side in real life.
The mascot is called Luce, cute anime girl with religious aspects to it.
But mama mia why did they do this for their event next year? It just seems totally unreal and I feel like I’m living in a simulation.
Never have i thought these zealous buggers would use anime influences in a bajillion years

The Jubilee is a time of celebration for Catholics.
Traditionally, the Jubilee is held every 25 or 50 years and is a time to celebrate progress, free slaves (back when slaves were legal), forgive sins, etc etc.
In a great celebration, it makes sense to add a bit of pop culture flair. It’s also common to focus on children and youth outreach during the Jubilee and an anime character does a lot for that.

I hadn’t even noticed the shells or the flag, thanks for such a detailed post.

You say this like we don’t have legalized slaves right now.
