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.
it looks like if raincoats were hijabs…
Who are they trying to appeal to with this, are they launching a vatican sponsored cocomelon clone?
In the pocket of the green one - is that a pedobear?
The dog shit on their boots is a nice touch.
I just had a realization based on your comment; Their boots are dirty because they are walking through a world of shit. That is a core tenant of Christianity. They get to cop out on trying to make anything better by just saying “oh well, the world is shitty, get believers to make god daddy happy and then die.” That lines up with Trump’s thematic message of America being some over run, crime infested wasteland. It is the hook by which Trump catches the Christians.
They shouldve just asked permission to use Alexander Anderson. My favorite fictional Catholic.
Designed by tokidoki 😑 what even is this timeline.
August 6th 1945: a small forgotten shrine in Hiroshima gets obliterated by the nuclear blast of Little Boy. This was one of the seven shrines holding the fabrics of spacetime together. Slowly spacetime starts to unravel, in the beginning nothing seems unusual but slowly the timeline becomes more and more unlikely. Can our hero stop the unraveling in time?
Maybe they are trying to expaind theor Japanese market

yeah thats gonna clean up their image
We’re about 5 years away from the Vatican releasing shotacon.
That’s a funny way of saying AI filtered altar boys
Rule 34 intensifies
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
Heard
Yay! But wait, what?
Really surprising it isn’t a teenage boy.
Is this some kind of moe anthroprism?
Missed the chance to call her Vati-chan.
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.
Yes, the US largely figured that out with The Empire Strikes Back. 😜
Except they were kinda wrong. “Vader” is father in Dutch, not German.
Dialectic morphology’s a tchüß, oder?
I’m sorry, I don’t know what that means
Lmfao anyone see the movie Dogma, this is modern day Buddy Christ! 😂
Kevin Smith posted on Facebook that this had to be the Catholic Church trolling him for getting back the rights to Dogma and its 29th Anniversary.
🤣
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.
Phrasing?
hmmm?
Oh that was intentional.
Buddy Christ was better
Better than Bloody Christ, for sure.
The Buddy and Bloody of Christ, though… Now, you’ve got a sacrament going.
buddy christ wasn’t fucking adorable though? I didn’t want to pre-order buddy christ???
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
Numbers are down, release the waifu! Common business strategy with ancient roots.
I’d say the mascot is clearly a child, but the Catholic Church…
Are they running so low on young people to molest they’ve resulted to youthful dolls?
Pope played Elden Ring and fell head over heels for Ranni
Look, she had 4 arms, a body to kill for, and had a way of getting in your head
She’s no Goldmask though. I want to get me a man that can T-pose on reality until he figures out how to prove god wrong
Several ways.
These are useful for luring new victims back to the rectory.
“Hey little girl, would you like to come to my office to read from the old testicles?”
