Luce’s yellow sailor’s raincoat is a nod to God's destruction of the antediluvian world through rain and flooding, with the color yellow symbolizing happiness. The mascot’s bloody boots represent the long, difficult, and necessarily bloody march against the corrupting influence of jews, while her staff is used to beat faggots.

The Camino de Santiago is too popular for its own good, but camping is still possible if you route well. The Via Francigena, another one of the major historic pilgrimages, is still active and is less developed, and is likely even easier to camp.

Luce isn't a saint. A saint is a soul that has ascended to heaven. A Saint (capital S) is such a soul that has been recognized by the church.
Luce is neither.
Onanism is also not considered a sin in Catholicism. It is heavily discouraged but there is no temporal or spiritual punishment. Instead they interpret the story of Onan in the bible to be prohibiting the usage of contraceptives.
To the extent of my religious knowledge, even as a Catholic you can masturbate to Luce without even needing to confess it or seek forgiveness for it. In fact, if you did it to control homosexual urges I imagine at least some religious leaders would encourage you to continue.

Catechism of the Catholic Church par. 2352: "By masturbation is to be understood the deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual pleasure. "Both the Magisterium of the Church, in the course of a constant tradition, and the moral sense of the faithful have been in no doubt and have firmly maintained that masturbation is an intrinsically and gravely disordered action." "The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose." For here sexual pleasure is sought outside of "the sexual relationship which is demanded by the moral order and in which the total meaning of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love is achieved.

Much older folks like him just see it as "the latest thing that's hip with the youngsters".

Not saying the guy from the Vatican who presented it likes anime or anything, but this isn't the first time the Vatican got involved with anime. Catholics and the Vaticans really have no problem with it and never hated it in the first place, they made an anime in the 90's partnering with Osamu Tezuka's studio and when Evangelicals in the US was calling Pokemon satanic the Vatican said it wasn't and that it promotes friendship and kindness. Pic is the anime they commissioned.

>> No.48114762

If Tezuka was a business interaction, then this is more like a wholesale endorsement of japanese media. This is pretty at odds with the general status quo in the anglosphere, which has been borderline at war with japanese influence for decades. The fact that they're doing this for a once in 25 years event shows that it's not just some low commitment pandering either.

That's mostly the US and it's unironically mostly because of evangelicals. The reason Christianity has the stereotype "Satanic Panic! They hate everything! They hate video games and anime and fun!" is because of protestant evangelicals. I feel like I just had to mention this as a Catholic myself, my parents and the church in my area had no problem with video games or anime unless they where something like Highschool DXD for obvious reasons.

My dad was friends with the priest of our church and they came together to play DND.

They even made a homebrew with mini-figures that essentially just Christianized it more and made them holy warriors of the church fighting a campaign against the devil and his forces.

Lucifer isn't actually a character in Catholicism, only in Protestantism, because Lucifer isn't actually mentioned by name in the Latin Bible and only once in the English Catholic Bible in which the only "Lucifer" so to speak is the literal meaning of Lucifer in reference to a Babylonian King at the time that was stripped of power because he was too prideful only to be forgiven by God after like a couple years iirc in Isaiah, not sure if "Lucifer" is mentioned in any of the Evangelical or Protestant Bible more than that one time so I won't comment. So it can't be a reference to Lucifer because, while Satan and the Devil exists in Catholicism, Lucifer as a person or name for the Devil or Satan doesn't exist in Catholicism.

the whole Luce = Lucifer thing reminds me of the negro "controversy".
americans losing their shit because they would occasionally read the word "negro" (black) on stuff like mexican food labels and immediately associate it with the slur for black people. too bad that this "obvious" association looks completely absurd and forced to the eyes of a mexican man.
it's the same thing. Luce is not satanic because it was created by italians and an italian man would never make the association between the words Luce and Lucifero. Luce just means light and the word only has positive meanings associated with it.

The churches in my country ALL have jumped the shark.
I will celebrate Christmas, do a marriage ceremony in church, get my children baptized and get buried in a grave yard, but fuck the church and its officials.
There is nothing wrong with an institution to facilitate events in life and over the course of the year by offering a fool-proof and tested shape, but fuck the churches' cults and their officials. Seriously.

Canonisation doesn't make someone a saint, it only recognises that they are definitely in Heaven. Everyone in Heaven is a saint, but only a small number of the dead can be definitively said are there. In either case, no, she cannot be a saint.
