There's more than the one who are (I assume*) boys, also I don't understand what you mean by 'would be too apropos', could you explain?
* I assume because I couldn't find much information about the side characters other than their names Fe, Xin, and Sky. All the references on the Wikipedia page just say their names and include the photo at most or don't even acknowledge them at the least.
Young boys especially, but young girls too are probably a little touchy for them to use. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_sexual_abuse_cases
All I hear is, the Vatican is after the young crowd. Imagine that....

Are they running so low on young people to molest they've resulted to youthful dolls?
Pope played Elden Ring and fell head over heels for Ranni
Look, she had 4 arms, a body to kill for, and had a way of getting in your head
Several ways.

These are useful for luring new victims back to the rectory.

How is this NOT the onion...
Child Rape, Incorporated really shouldn't, they really really shouldn't, they really really really just should not
but she's ackchyually 2,000 years old
Her name is Light? Like the guy from Death Note?
What’s Luce for?
For seeing, duh.
No way they're going to regret that decision....
Don’t worry, the R34 artists are already on it.
Target demographic: lolicons
I would say the target demographic is Catholics. That's an important distinction, because it includes shotacons too.

that's adorable. I like the frog looking one, as my name implies.
Oh god, I can’t help but see the reflection in their eyes as a hand with way too many fingers

Thank god they didn't go furry with any of their characters.
2034: The Vatican unveils official furry mascot
Aslan from the Narnia series is basically a feral fan-made fursona for Jesus
To learn more google "Rule 34 Vatican mascot"
Please no. I think I'd have no choice but to firebomb the Vatican.
Edit: Catholic furries are fine, I don't have anything against them so long as they're not trying to proselytize or something; but I don't want the Catholic church anywhere near me.
Yeah I feel the same, I was just joking
That's when they finally get me.

Hmmm.
Are they ignorant to the "art" that will be created inspired by this, or was that their intention?
They're using childish cartoon characters to attract young children to the church. I don't think they care who does what with the characters as long as they get more kiddies to diddle.
So is it blessed anime, or holy anime?
Holey*
"Ara Ara! Popu-Sensei is so kawaii!" /s Too bad there are so many cases where Catholic anime turns into the darkest type of hentai.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that the Pope still doesn't have a moe moe
I hope this goes the same way as the Tony T Tiger VTuber career
Coraline?
For young people? What? That doggo there has me rediscovering my faith
I mean, look, it's wearing a hat
