Is this some kind of moe anthroprism?
Yay! But wait, what?
We’re about 5 years away from the Vatican releasing shotacon.
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.
Looks kinda like that Chickpea comic.

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)_/¯
Guys are always ready to work. r63 next?
Now there is rule 85 version of it.
There is already, in the r34 link above… Ruleception
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.
yeah thats gonna clean up their image
Numbers are down, release the waifu! Common business strategy with ancient roots.
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
Luce? Like Lucifer? Lol.
“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
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.
I thought they spoke Latin in the Vatican, aren’t they Latino? Otherwise how do we get such classical Christian idioms like “Romanes eunt domus”?
Italian is a direct descendant of Latin (along with nearly every other Western language)
There’s Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese…there are more Germanic-derived ones than Latin-derived, aren’t there?
Romanian, Catalan, Sicilian, Galician, Venetian, probably a number of other dialects, are also Latin descendants.
I’d have to get a list of every country considered “western” and then figure out how many have predominantly Latin-derived and Germanic-derived languages. Too much work. “Nearly every” one of them would most certainly not be Latin-derived, though.
Thankfully there’s an entire field of linguistics that’s already done the work. Quick Google search shows 22 Latin descendant languages, and 24 Germanic descendant languages. So slightly more, yeah.
I was thinking like… English.
Sure, it’s got German and French and Greek and just a mess of everything, but there’s a lot of Latin in there.English is a Germanic language that has had significant Latin and French (which added more Latin) injected into it over the years. It has to be the most mongrel widespread language in existence, which is probably why it’s such a mess when it comes to spelling. Still, it also has a lot of flexibility and word choices because of it.

Something something “the power of god and anime on my side”
Really surprising it isn’t a teenage boy.
Luce will also represent the Holy See at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan.
I love this sentence so much.
Finally the Catholics have discovered religion!
