Ecclesiastical Frequent Flyer Miles
1.
(Our bishops in synod in Rome respond to a crisis)
Ombudsman, ombudsperson, om, om, om
As pressing as that issue is enhanced
Mediation roles for the whistleblowers
Accountable to the norms of canon law
Refashion the role of a promoter
Of justice creating a climate of
Having legal tools available for a
Strategic partnership the bottom line
And somewhere yet again a line or two
About the ‘way cool spirit of Vatican II
2.
(A populist priest posts about his of-the-people-ness
as he stands up to rascally bishops)
There wasn’t Fox News in the first-class lounge
But only CNN my plane was late
The merlot in first class was mediocre
And here’s a picture of my first-class lunch
Oh, such a long flight all the way to Rome
Where I’m fighting for you and for the Faith
In the cutest little sidewalk cafes’
And here’s a picture of my cappuccino
Travelling for your prayers is such a slog
So send me money to support my ‘blog
3.
(In a poor parish scheduled by the bishop for closure)
Father is on perpetual holiday
The abandoned faithful are left to say
Introibo ad altare Dei
Ad Deum qui laetificat juventutem meam
And what is an ombudsperson?
