So Thanks be to God, we got our Franciscan University household started and inducted! We are the Equites Lux Sacra, Knights of the Holy Light.
"Why," you may ask, "is the title not Equites Lucis Sacrae?"
Well. Let me explain. It's called apposition. It's a title, and not part of a grammatical structure. Simple as that. think of SPQR - Senatus Publiusque Romanus. Nominative. Apposition. Titular.
Anyways. The ceremony went generally as follows: (no... here's the program instead)

Good for you guys! Be a light for the Faith on the campus and especially strong advocates for the traditional Latin Mass.
It's great to see the university opening up to Tradition.
Pax Christi tecum.
Well, it is about time another Household gets going with the cloaks!!
Bellwether would be proud of you.
