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

    Cuz like every major religion they’re hemorrhaging believers and thus, money. Time to shake up the recruitment protocols.

      Come to think of it, I’ve heard that all my life but never questioned it. Is it really true for all of them?

        That religions are hemorrhaging believers? I think that depends a lot on region and general population wealth. Prosperity gospel shit (the more you donate, the more god will reward you) keeps attracting new believers thanks to their scammy tactics and promises, especially as anyone that “fails” to succeed just lacked faith (didn’t donate enough) - this is especially true in poorer places.
