Especially true since Dorn hates showing that side of himself in public, and yet his very decision to semi-exile the chapter by sending them on an Eternal Crusade ensured that they would spread out farther and have a much greater impact on the galaxy than any of the other chapters.

Who are the true Angels of Death, the True Knights of the Emperor? Is it the Dark Angels and their old traditions based on Knightly orders? Traditions which they disgrace while they whisper secrets and sneak in the dark while proclaiming their own purity?! Nay The Ultramarines with their dogmatic and fanatical adoration for a book? A book which us- The codex deviant- understand and apply closer to its original purpose than even the arrogant sons of Ultramar? Nay Is it the wrathful champions of the Blood Angels? who for all their glory, live in a perpetual state of melancholy? Nay The wolves of Fenris our brothers in all but blood who's savagery in battle is legendary, yet dishonor themselves by practicing superstitious rituals of the most primitive kind? Nay The Salamanders, who coddle the common of humanity so much that they purposely jeopardize not only themselves, their allies, and even the very people they want to protect if a civilian simply leaves their sight for nary a moment? ( Our very own Reclusiarch can testify to this) Nay The shadowy Raven Guard? Nay The cold Iron Hands? NAY!! Only the Blood of Rogal Dorn embodies what the Astartes were always meant to be! And of the Blood of Dorn, only the Black Templars continue The Emperor's mission to this day, his Crusade! So what if we have seen the divinity of the Emperor? Even if he wasn't before he is now, so go on sneer on our faith, it makes us stronger than the rest for it, be it because of it enflames our zeal and courage or true holy miracles; as the blessed Sororitas can attest. Sneer at our zeal while you hypocritically sing hymns, recite litanies, build cathedrals and practice sacraments all the while denying The Emperor's divinity; all the while you call yourselves Angels. One can't be an Angel if his liege is no God. Our faith has kept us pure, and righteous while your ranks fill with heretics. Our faith gives us an advantage against witches and psykers without the need for Librarians. Our Faith inspires the mortal men around us, regardless of any reputation of aloofness; after all, it is Grimaldus who is the Hero of Helsreach, The Reclsuiarch, and all of those who sacrificed their blood for that infamous hive city. None are true Angels, nor true Knights. Only the Dark Knights of Sigismund! The Crusaders of Dorn! The OathSworn! The Emperor's champions! The Knights of The Emperor! We the Uncorrupted! We the Faithful! The Zealous! The Black Templars!!!! We do not wear his symbol, WE ARE HIS SYMBOL! NO PITY, NO REMORSE, NO FEAR! IMPERATOR VULT! It is great to hear Arch narrate about the Best Space Marine Chapter.

To be fair the BT recruitment and training is quite similar to the Jedi.

I think the same thing. They're not like Blood Angels or Space Wolves consumed by rage. The Black Templars are their own flavor of savage devotion to the cause of humanity.
