Catty Schism

In the Catholic Schools of the West All students are put to a test Their head must go South With an open mouth To measure who comes off the best A priest is never too fickle An Adam's Apple to tickle No need to repent Its all Heaven-sent The meek love sucking a pickle Virile men should become a priest So many are needed back East Beneath every frock Likes a ticking clock Hungry mouths in need of a feast The Bible predicts that a beast Will plunder the Great and the Least So you can do more To even the score When you serve this world as a priest!

Finally reading this. I wish a priest would read this. Maybe the Pope - why not! A sad thing is, they think they have the right to ruin someone's life. Good for you, Rico!

Can the Pope can read? Inn Genesis 2:7, God says life does NOT begin before the breath of life is inhaled through the nostrils, and in Matthew 18:9 instructs, "If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee" so clearly God does NOT see any crime nor sin in abortion, yet the Pope does, so either the Pope can't read, or does not believe the scriptures are the Word of God, or thinks he knows better than God what is best for humanity!

very witty and well done..one of my earlier jobs was for a treatment program in the 80's for priests and nuns..Mostly the nuns took care of their own..very sad situation there..

G'day Rico … the Catholic Church has a problem here right now with a Cardinal found guilty of child abuse. It's all over the news and more - ouch! Lindsay

The truly sad part is that such conduct is not limited to Catholic priests but is common among alleged religious leaders! Thanks for reading, mate! Aloha, Rico

Bless me, Father Leffanta, for I have sinned. I dared to laugh reading this hilarious poem -- which deep down has some serious meaning. Great work, Rico! A fave for me. Blessings from Sister Carolyn

Mahalo! I hope it will do some good. Sex is a prime motivator, so I thought, "Why would a Jihadist blow himself - and others - to smithereens to earn a virgin in heaven when he could become a priest and enjoy any number of virgins in the flesh?" Aloha! Rico
