Our sins it is that cause us all our woes.
Let us repent, or else the problem grows.
By little groups the Church, entombed, can live,
And rising again all kinds of life will give.
Our Lord’s Church, friends, runs on the lines of God
And not on ours, howe’er that may seem odd.
Were earthly leaders angels, we would miss
What God meant for us, which is heavenly bliss.

The plague that holds your Church in its firm clasp?

Catholic priests, cut to each other slack.
Catholics, pray they have one another’s back.

Despite many Catholics’ reservations as to the content and motivation of the Motu Proprio, one may still believe it will do good.
