The Church Must Be A-Changing!

Today while the sin-nod is in its last days (Deo Gratias!) the pope delivered a homily at Mass.  I've got to believe that it's part of the ongoing #maturation.  In short, he opined that Catholics must read the "signs of the times" and change with them.  Of course he threw out a parenthetic remark about staying within the bounds of truth, but that means we're getting praxis-vs-dogma gobblygoop.  I pray that this is not a harbinger of the final product of the sin-nod, but wouldn't be surprised if it is.

As I read it, I thought to myself, "he'd be channeling his inner Bob Dylan, except that Dylan's still alive"!   With that thought came inspiration for the jingle that I just now threw together.  If I say so myself, it sums up both the sin-nod and today's homily.  Those of you who remember the 1960s might find yourselves singing it to Dylan's tune.  In (dis)honor of the sin-nod, I present (drums and trumpets please, and yes a patent is pending)

THE CHURCH MUST BE A-CHANGING

Come gather you bishops, cardinals and priests

Come gather all of liberal stripe

Time to promulgate progressive tripe

At all faithful Catholics we’re going to snipe

Under the cover of false mercy hype

For the Church must be a-changing.

Come quickly Baldiserri, Rosica, Marx

Durocher, Lombardi, Kasper and Wuerl

Let our heretical colors unfurl

On Holy Communion we’ll heap sacrilege

From saints and Church fathers we’ll burn that bridge

For the Church must be a-changing.

Gadecki and Sarah, keep your mouths closed

By Sarah and Pell we won’t be opposed

Because they rebuke us we hold them as dopes

Part of the crowd who just don’t like the pope

Our sins we won’t confess ‘cause we must make a mess

For the Church must be a-changing.
