Oh damn, in German, "Vati" is an affectionate form like "daddy", except it's the word stem of "father" ("Vater").
And wouldn't you know it, Christians also use "Vater" to refer to priests, the pope and their god.
Lmfao anyone see the movie Dogma, this is modern day Buddy Christ! 😂
First thing I thought of also, but I rewatch Dogma regularly.
buddy christ wasn't fucking adorable though? I didn't want to pre-order buddy christ???
Buddy Jesus would have been an a better choice. The internet fanfiction might have worked for them. I predict they won't be pleased by the fanfiction they're about to get from under age manga.
not...publicly pleased, at any rate...
but amongst themselves? probably swapping their favorites around.

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
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.

All I hear is, the Vatican is after the young crowd. Imagine that....
🌍🧑🚀🔫👨🚀
Are they running so low on young people to molest they've resulted to youthful dolls?

How is this NOT the onion...
Yeah, pedos do what pedos usually do
That priest looks stoked
Target demographic: lolicons
I would say the target demographic is Catholics. That's an important distinction, because it includes shotacons too.

No way they're going to regret that decision....
Don’t worry, the R34 artists are already on it.
Thank god they didn't go furry with any of their characters.
CS Lewis did it for them with Jesus' lionsona

Aslan from the Narnia series is basically a feral fan-made fursona for Jesus
