Just the headline on this one is cool or it could be the name of a bizarre quasi-Japanese animation.  ;)

One thing is for sure though that his actions are knightly.  :)

Given the chaos in today's world I am surprised that he wasn't arrested or fined for even bringing the sword outside  ;)

What I can say is that is one piece of news that has put a big smile on my face.  ;D

It would be awesome if the cleric used a longsword instead of a katana.   ;)
