Put Down the Rosary and Step Away from It

 

                Police interrupted a Catholic mass in Australia on Thursday after they received a tip                          that some parishioners may be violating a COVID-19 mask mandate

-Police stop church service to make sure parishioners are wearing masks (msn.com)

 

Police have bravely raided a church in Perth

Some old folks at prayer on a Thursday night

Acting on a serpent’s tip (for what that’s worth)

Thus giving the wicked a righteous fright

 

Advance, Australia, thou land of the free!

Where prayerful insolence will be suppressed

And by the way, how much was the Judas-fee?

(Thirty Woolworth’s gift cards?)

We would want a snake to have only the best

 

One doubts this was only about some masks

What other reasons might there be? one asks
