Confusion reigns, descending from on high.
Pray for the Pope and bishops, ere they die!
Rome may manoeuvre, dodge, deceive, outwit,
But with lines curved straight things by God are writ.
”Doctrine and piety,” demands St Paul –
Catholics! Read and pray, or you will fall.

By blocking many attempts to join with Rome!
When Tradcats’ leaders prove to be untrue,
Then Tradcats need to be “Resistants” too.

How many souls will in the Faith stay strong?
Beautiful principles are not enough –
Practical application can be tough!

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