cappie Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) It happened in Germany. Details: It wasn’t Darth Vader who gave the blessing to the first communion children. This was personally undertaken by Pastor Christoph Nobs with a bright green laser sword at the celebration of a Star Wars First Communion Mass. The idea for the stars-War Communion came from Nicolas Gkotses community director. Star Wars had been a theme for the children in their religious instruction and so he tried to communicate the gospel in this way in a timely manner. – “May the force be with you!†http://www.patheos.com/blogs/deaconsbench/2013/06/priest-celebrates-star-wars-first-communion/ Edited June 13, 2013 by cappie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 In his defense, that is a really cool picture with the vestments on. If he had done this outside of Mass just for the picture it would be awesome. That being said, this was during Mass. *Weep* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apotheoun Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 It is truly sad when a person does not take the liturgy seriously, but when a priest takes the liturgy lightly it seems exponentially worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
