Pope Doggeral (Feel Free to Add)

[lescaret]

Black smoke
sez no Pope
No Pope No Pope!
We can only hope
the next satin clad dope
will have some volition
and break with tradition
and with another man elope
commit sodomy
from top to bottomy
in the Vatican
religious ashcan
ban the clan!
be sure it's a man
suck and gather
end the blather
religious nonesense
burn some incense
wave the smoke
annoint the Pope
the Pope! the Pope!
Black smoke black smoke
no Pope yet.

Les, you got me rubbin my hands tagetha......in anticipation of pope ditties.

white smoke a risin
mus be the pope,
shakin the hand
of da holy ghost,
acceptin with grace
a new assignation,
case manager for,
the whole damn-nation,
pomp and circumstance
of it all,
got me
in a rut!
I can't use it!
Try to make it real....
compared to what?


Happy new Pope day for those of you celebrating.

Cardinal Ratzinger ( somehow that name seems appropriate) is the most right-wing of all the high-ranking cardinals.

Here is an article that gives a bit of background on him.

As a Catholic and a progressive in politics, I am appalled at his election.

BUT, the US church doesn't pay that much attention to the Vatican any more.



It's only a matter of time before there is a strong break with Rome here.
