I have always said that when my day finally comes and I am at last named Cardinal Archbishop of Black Duck, for my … or should I say our… entrance into our cathedral to take possession of what is ours we shall wear a black cope and we shall be accompanied by the Imperial March from Star Wars.
Black Duck has, alas, been dominated for many years by liberals.
We have found their lack of Faith disturbing.
Some Lutherans, however, no doubt readers of our blog, have taken our idea. We must admit it has a rather spiffy look which confirms us in our design.

It SO works….. A Vader mitre. Of course, you’d also need a tune for your ordination tambourine to clank out of time to.
Yes, if Fr.Z. is elevated to the episcopacy, the hierarchical nature of the clergy will not be obscured. In order to make it liturgically proper, your installation Mass should fall on November 2. Don’t forget the gloves.
I would like to volunteer our schola cantorum to fly up and assist the choir. When the day comes, please contact us through our website, http://www.brazoschant.org
That is funny – some of them are quite scary and that’s just the women. I don’t think we have Lutherans in England – not sure why.
Simply epic…
I missed the imperial honor guard as acolytes, or at least two storm troopers in dalmatic.
Ha, that’s funny!
Did the Lutherans tell Darth Vader to leave when he tagged into the church behind everyone else?
Just askin’…. : )
Bunch of ruffians.
Why was one of them wearing a top hat?
That procession was outside the Domkirkjan (Lutheran Cathedral) of Reykjaik Iceland.
A surprisingly Catholic looking church in many ways, especially with regard to the artwork.

Fr. Z…don’t forget the essential symbol of episcopal authority…the Laser Crosier!
Why is Lord Vader…unruffled?
Salutationes omnibus.
Tom: Think about it. Nothing ruffles Lord Vader.
“That is funny – some of them are quite scary and that’s just the women. I don’t think we have Lutherans in England – not sure why.”
Well, the Church of England is in communion with the Scandinavian Lutheran churches, for one thing. For another, there are in fact Lutherans in England: http://www.lutheran.co.uk/
This was a prank by somebody who wants disestablishment in Iceland, I believe.
Here’s a translation of a newspaper article:

Centristian, you get the top hat when you are awarded the Ph.D in Sweden. There is a scene in Bergman’s “Wild Strawberries” where Victor Sjostrom receives his hat in a Latin-language ceremony at the University of Lund.
The man with the top hat got his Ph.D. in Sweden? Well, there is another possible explanation:
