Why did the pope announce anime mascots?
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

Archbishop Fisichella also unveiled the official mascot of the Holy Year 2025: “Luce” (Italian for light), a cartoon pilgrim dressed in a yellow raincoat, mud-stained boots, wearing a missionary cross and holding a pilgrim’s staff. Luce’s glowing eyes feature the shape of scallop shells, a traditional symbol of pilgrimage and hope.
The mascot, he said, was inspired by the church’s desire “to live even within the pop culture so beloved by our youth.”
