Catholic dogma's all you need ...

John Allemang wrote this little ditty in today's edition of one of Canada's national newspapers, The Globe and Mail:

Leap of Faith

You don't like gays, and women priests
Seem worst than Revelation's beasts?
Then, brother, make the trip to Rome
Where faith like yours feels right at home:
Confined within belief's tight box,
You'll find no place more orthodox,
For current views about what's fair
Don't travel to St. Peter's Square.

Eternal truth's the specialty
Of those who rule the Holy See,
And since our Word comes straight from God,
All change is quickly seen as fraud
Against the teachings of the Lord,
And trendy thoughts must be ignored,
For Catholic dogma's all you need
To follow men whose job's to lead.

Abandon doubt, when you come here,
And lose those feminists and queers
Who've tried to make you sell your soul
So they can play a bigger role
In leading pious flocks astray -
Modernity won't go away,
But prejudice can better hide
By switching to the papal side.
