The Catholic Church in Ireland

Suffered the little children
in whom the Priest came.

The Bishop forgave the Priest.

Rot in Hell they cried
outside the courtroom.

The Bishop prayed for the Priest.
The Pope
said nothing.

The Church called lawyers
to oppose the claims.
The Bishop led prayers for the Priest.
The Pope stayed
in the Vatican.

The Priest will reap
what he has sown,
in this life or the next.

Unless God is a Catholic.
