Desperation is a stinky cologne. It’s also responsible for their pathetic attempt to try and appeal to young people with an anime-like character they call “Luce”, which is Italian for “Light”.

Archbishop Fisichella said on Monday that Luce was chosen because the Church wants “to live even within the pop culture so beloved by our youth” and she represents “a symbol of the hope of the heart.”

Who do they think they appeal to anyways? Do they really think that people who like anime are going to be enticed by this obviously ripped off character? Is this supposed to make us forget that they are perhaps one of the most evil organizations in the world? Does a cute face erase the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of sexually and physically abused children? Or does a little cross make you forget the billions of dollars of money laundered for organized crime?
