Do the Catholics own that, or is the IP free game?

Nah, I'm expecting them to do exactly what was done above. Turn it into a symbol of power for themselves and in spite of the "baddie bads" who might have created it.
Or they can do like you are implying, continue to refuse to engage in the culture war thereby ceding the ground endlessly and continue losing.
if the nonces in the vatican commission sodomites to make an anime mascot and most Christians just don't give a shit, that's "ceding ground"?
Yes, because its going to get used regardless. It exists now, period, you can't get around that. You either claim its existence to spread your own message or your enemies will do so for you.
Like, you seem to be under the impression you/they can just ignore it and deprive it of any power. Which is the same laughable naivety that keeps Christianity losing its grip on literally every corner of society.
or we grow a pair and start making our own culture to claim without any degeneracy behind it. that's what i've been striving to do and i have no qualms with ignoring yet another anime girl. you guys are free to take luce and put her in the funny memes, but don't delude yourself into thinking you are the smartest, cleverest philosophical warriors to ever grace the Earth. that will only happen when you can start acting like the Good you claim to be and start creating culture, unlike Evil who can only appropriate.
They literally created something right there in the topic we are discussing, and its having its effect on culture. Its funny you try to attack other people for thinking they are super smart and clever when you've tried to do the exact same in the next sentence while missing such an obvious fact. You should try to calm down and think about what words mean as you say them.
There is no inherent degeneracy in Luce. Its an anime girl in a raincoat. Whatever its creator is is an irrelevant detail to the fact of its existence because it is not reflected in it at this junction, and its inherently less degenerate than the appearance of most anime girls who are made with pure intentions.
Of course create your own, there is push and pull to this. You must have offense and defense. But to ignore everything your enemy is doing and rely purely on offense is a losing strategy for the side that is outgunned, outmanned, and already losing.
I do appreciate though that a comment about having fun with a dumb little anime icon and how the Catholics cannot let themselves have that fun had you compelled to turn it into "philosophical warfare" and being super duper serious about rejecting everything. Proved the point almost exactly, even if I know you won't see the irony.
