The Vatican has unveiled a new cute anime girl mascot, hoping to create characters that “can represent the sentiments that resonate in the hearts of the younger generations”.

The new character named Luce (which means “Light” in Italian) helps to “guide young pilgrims towards hope and faith” according to the Catholic News Agency.

I want to give it the benefit of the doubt and say it was made specifically for an upcoming expo in Japan.

Nonetheless, I think this is a huge mistake. If anyone from the younger generation is to follow one of the oldest institutions in the world, it will be because it is one of the oldest institutions in the world. This will fail in attracting the people it wants and only push away people it should be appealing to.
