This was based on very not scientific compilation of data.
Also please watch Vatican Kiseki Chousakan. It is glorious.

Vatican Miracle Examiner Vocab: Chapter 1
100+ vocab terms from Ch 1, Vol 1 of the 5-part manga series.
Mostly Catholic terms in Japanese and unique usage related to the series.
This list is not exhaustive. I focused on terms that would be unfamiliar (or unfamiliar as used in this series), and/or directly relate to Catholic terminology in Japanese.
I list part of speech, pronunciation, and simple definitions. I have not included additional of these if they are not relevant to this series.
Character names will have titles where applicable and those will be in brackets to minimize confusion; titles will be listed under general vocab as well.
At the end of the list I’ll have a few sources for some of the more obscure terms in case you want to read more or get better context.
As of now I have things listed in the order in which they appear, roughly, in the manga.
Note: This will be a long post since it’s the first chapter in the series and 31 pages long.

Additional Notes
Holy year, 聖年 ; Great Jubilee, 大聖年
“Devil’s book,” 悪魔が書いた魔法書
I did a lot of searching trying to figure out what book, specifically, was meant here, and came up with 2 possibilities:
the Gigas Codex, ギガス写本 or 悪魔の聖書, a book that is not held by the Vatican but was supposedly written with magical assistance from Satan himself;
the Grand Grimoire, 大奥義書 or 大いなる教書, not written by Satan but that is held by the Vatican.
It’s possibly intended to be vague, but the exact phrasing here is different than used for either of these actual books and I couldn’t find any other possible real option. Note the anime does call a book “the devil’s book” and describe it as a “Bible written by the devil” but it doesn’t seem to really be a reference to Gigas, so maybe it’s intended to be a fictional book inspired by these real texts for the purposes of the story.

Propaganda for Vatican Miracle Examiner:
(This is the description on MyAnimeList, is that ok?)
Fathers Josef Kou Hiraga and Roberto Nicholas are Vatican Miracle Examiners who investigate the authenticity of miraculous phenomena reported from all over the world. In every seemingly sacred event lies horrors of hidden conspiracies, mysterious murders, and devil worship. In this battle of good and evil, Hiraga, a scientific and mathematical genius, and Roberto, a polymath in linguistics and classics, must work together to bring the truth to light. Will their friendship and faith endure the evils in their journey to find a true miracle?
A propaganda is not a summary...

The last of my VME merch haul.
1. Pamphlet from the first screening event. Photos are as follows. They included mainly interviews and a few artworks. Also showed the goods at the last page that I’ll never be able to buy anymore unless someone lists them for a reasonable price ahah
2. Acrylic standees I’ve searched for for FOREVER. I’m so lucky to have gotten them brand new!!! They are surprisingly huge. I can’t wait to put them on display!!
3. Cute spare Robehira keychain that I can use! The other one there is gonna be sealed forever haha (it was purchased from Goods Republic)
4. Rosary!!!!!!!! I’ve also been looking for this for forever!! The logo has some protective cloth but I believe this is used so I’ll be wearing this daily.
5. Grand prize from the DMM lottery event. YOU BET I GOT IT EVEN THOUGH I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW I’LL DISPLAY IT!! The cloth is microfiber and surprisingly high quality. And can anyone refuse getting a physical copy of this cute interaction?? Haha
6. Their acrylic pin trading badge set. I actually got this from Amazon.jp along with the teacups from Dantalian no Shoka but I’ll just put them here too. The artworks are so cute 😭
