And Whose Fault is That?

 

Then said Jesus unto the twelve, “Will you also go away?”

 

Then Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go?

You have the words of eternal life.”

 

Catholics are much disapproved of these days

And whose fault is that?

Catholics even disapprove of each other

And whose fault is that?

 

Lawsuits and lockouts and altars abandoned

And whose fault is that?

The ‘net all clogged with angry Catholic sites

And whose fault is that?

 

Well, yeah, mine too

 

We are perfectly free to go away

But we won’t – because He asks us to stay
