Just in time for Reformation Day!

(Yes. I checked with our secret resident Catholic. This is a real thing that the Vatican is doing.)

This is from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Archbishop Fisichella also unveiled the official mascot of the Holy Year 2025: ‘Luce’ (Italian for light), a cartoon pilgrim dressed in a yellow raincoat, mud-stained boots, wearing a missionary cross and holding a pilgrim’s staff. Luce’s glowing eyes feature the shape of scallop shells, a traditional symbol of pilgrimage and hope.

Kinda looks like Coraline.

The mascot, he said, was inspired by the church’s desire ‘to live even within the pop culture so beloved by our youth.’

Oh, they are taking this, uh, mascot on the road.

I for one am happy that the Church of Rome is catching up to the animation skills of Baptists from the 1990s.

At this rate, they’ll have their own version of Bibleman in no time!
