    That’s just a golden calf with more steps. Little fuckers even yellow. Damned priests need to read their book

    Archbishop Finichella says the mascot was inspired by the Church’s desire “to live even within the pop culture so beloved by our youth.”

    I’m getting strong “how do you do, fellow kids” vibes here.

    Luce like in Lucefer/Lucifer?

    Sounds about right for the church that is the choice of pedos

        You can pronounce it however you want, It is the same root word.

        Lucifer means morning star. Luce means light

      Sounds like you’re interpreting too much into this. They probably just wanted a short name that’s easy to remember with a somewhat religious touch.
