    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.

      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.

      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.

        Better than Bloody Christ, for sure.

        The Buddy and Bloody of Christ, though… Now, you’ve got a sacrament going.

      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.

      I would say the target demographic is Catholics. That’s an important distinction, because it includes shotacons too.

    Hmmm.

    Are they ignorant to the “art” that will be created inspired by this, or was that their intention?

      They’re using childish cartoon characters to attract young children to the church. I don’t think they care who does what with the characters as long as they get more kiddies to diddle.
