He is St. Peter here on
earth,
the rock upon which Christ
built his church,
designed to withstand
the challenges of time:
persecution, conversion, inquisition,
the rock upon which Christ
built his church,
designed to withstand
the challenges of time:
persecution, conversion, inquisition,
a lust for power and rampant with scandals.
Two stories now buzzing in the news:
The first one is the current pope is gay,
notice his penchant for
exquisite clothing,
a vestment horse by any standard,
who wants to avoid the shame
a vestment horse by any standard,
who wants to avoid the shame
of child abuse and sexual impropriety.
Rumor has it a group of male prostitutes
want to cash in on the gold
and will reveal the truth unless
duly compensated.
Somewhere in the mess lies the truth
the faithful gather round in prayer,
some seeing the gossip as the work
of the devil, designed to confuse
and break bonds to the church.
So... whoever is selected
must have strong shoulders
and be able to put things back into order
his integrity must be above reproach
his holiness more than
an act:
prayer must be an open
communication
to heaven, be able to guide his followers
to live better lives filled with good works
to encourage kindness towards each
other.
