If anyone has a truly Catholic mind,
He must, with Vatican II, leave it behind.
Be the Society’s past Discussions seen
To scatter many illusions there have been!
Sincerity can mislead, however strong,
So churchmen may mean well, and yet be wrong.
How can one bishop please both Church and world?
The Devil’s power is day by day unfurled!
Thank you, Professor, for your noble life.
Rest now, rest after such ignoble strife.
You want no God? Then chaos is what you choose.
Law, order, decency – and Heaven – you lose!
The Newsociety has not changed direction.
From Truth, it still intends the same defection.
Do count your blessings if in storms you’re tossed –
Especially when those blessings may be lost!
To grow, tomato plants need a strong rod –
To love your women, men, turn first to God!

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