I don't really have anything to add, I'll just say, that made me seriously LOL....
Get thee behind me Satan.
There's nothing to say. Just laugh hysterically. I can only imagine the anchors for the local news that night struggling to relay the story. Anybody remember when Charlie Steiner would laugh uncontrollably on SportsCenter? I figure it would be a lot like that.
"Luke, I am your Father."
The new Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Vader, enters Canterbury Cathedral to be enthroned.
The traffic sign says 'gjald' which a bit of google-foo reveals to be an Icelandic word for 'fee' or 'payment'. From there on it was easy tracking down the denomination because the 'Ruff' collar the priests are wearing is typically Lutheran. We're talking Icelandic National Church - the guy in the red robes would seem to be the Bishop of Iceland, Karl Sigurbjörnsson.
Always nipping at your heels, he is.
"must find a way to talk to the Emperor (who always wears red)-wait is it him? I'm not sure. Y'know when you walk up to someone only to find out it is someone you don't know? yeah, I hate that"
Good work detective JJ.
Turn to the Dark Side, you're already schismatic, what's a littlebit further?
"Now where is that Sci-Fi Convention? Well, these guys are in costume. Guess I'll follow them."
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... LITURGY WARS
"I find my lack of faith disturbing."
Nancy Pelosi preparing to enter Church and receive Communion with the full consent of her Bishop?
What's a little genocide among friends?
The church was not immune from the new hard-core prosecution of jay-walkers.
Don't look now! Isn't that Darth Vader bringing up the rear?
I am looking even closer, and noticed that the clergy is wearing what looks like white plastic plate collars. What's up with that? I have never seen that before.
"I find my lack of faith disturbing."
ROTFL!! Colin, that was superb!
LCB, so was "..what's a little genocide between friends?" :)
"TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER"
It's going to be hard to beat Colin Franklin, but I'm sure someone's up to the challenge!
look black vestments from the 1970's
Father's vestment experimentation, such as liturgical colored rubber noses, were tolerated in the past, but this new take on black vestments went to far.
Soon after the untimely death of the beloved Pope, B-16, the prophesised and infamous," Black Pope" arrives for his installation.
Really really traditionalist...this particular procession dates back to a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away
Mel Gibson makes a vocations film - Satan is only visible to some

"Cause of the latest Anglican schism? Ordination of Sith Lords."
Father Vader models the latest "Imperial Biretta".
"After a life of sin, I just want to be forgiven! How does that song go again, Oh, yeah, Oh when the saints, go marching in Oh when the saints go
marching in... Hope, I don't attract attention and get bounced out before I get to talk to Him.!!
Given up on ruling the galaxy as Father and Son, Vader decides to follow The Father and The Son.
giving, not given.
"MEMO...what memo?
*singing the kids song* One of these things is not like the other things...
Stay in attack formation!
Colin: "I find my lack of faith disturbing."
You win.
JOB CHAPTER 1:6
NOW IT CAME TO PASS ON THE DAY WHEN
THE SONS OF GOD CAME TO PRESENT THEMSELVES BEFORE JEHOVAH THAT SATAN ALSO CAME AMONG THEM.
The sad thing is that Darth Vader is the only one who is dressed as he is supposed to be dressed.
Since when is tan (or, champagne or call it what you will) a liturgical color [see the second from last priest]? When did it become alright to wear an overlay stole and an alb with neither a chausable nor a cincture to go along with them? Why is everyone's Roman collar showing? And, finally, why is everyone dressed differently -- if they are heading off to the same liturgical event -- one priest is wearing a red cope, another one is wearing a tan cope, two are wearing albs and stole, and one is wearing a green chausable?
What the heck?
... they aren't Catholic, Anon.
"Stay in attack formation!"
lol, these are killing me! :-D
"May the Force be with you."
"Um, did you just say farce?"
Pastor Hans Dosencola couldn't help but wonder if the Lutheran Interfaith Initiative had gotten just a little out of hand.
"Excuse me, but did I just hear you
calling me a black sheep?
Only one guest failed to read the email identifying the theme of the costume ball.
"I wouldn't want the Emperor's prize to be damaged by the new liturgical translation...we will test it first, on Bishop Marini."
I am altering the liturgical garments. Pray I don't alter them further.
Marini: "The pope is most displeased with your apparent lack of tradition."
Bishop Trautman: "But he asks too mush. I need more women!"
Marini: "Perhaps you think you're being treated unfairly?"
Bishop Trautman: "We shall double our efforts."
Marini: "I hope so, Excellency, for your sake. The Pope is not as forgiving as I am."
Psst...Did you notice that our new Deacon wears those same vestments every time he's scheduled to do the gospel reading of Luke!?!?
Looking over the best quotes I'm going on a limb and guessing David B. has spent some time playing with toy light sabers... Nice references.
"Don't be too proud of this liturgical terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a tradition is insignificant next to the power of the Summorum Pontificum.
[no caption, just a score]
Tum, tum, tum, tum, TA-tum, tum, TA-tummm....
LOL! I think these are the best Ever!
Anon,
Thanks! (and good guess about my past interests:-))
This caption combox is probably the funniest I've read in quite a while.
A glimpse at the Dark Side of the Faith.
Darth Vadar getting secretly (?) filmed for TLC's "What Not To Wear".
Lord Vadar scopes out what the "other side" wears for combat.
oh please. somebody stop me!
About halfway around the block, Father Joe finally came to his senses and realized, "Oh no, today ISN'T All Souls Day."
Liturgy of Renegade Church Disposession - The Right Reverend Katharine Jefferts Schori presiding.
"Luke, where is my Father?"
Fr. Vader showed up wearing black vestments thinking he was offering a funeral mass.
