Inspired by Matthew at the Shrine, who last week was having some saintly, slightly irreverent fun with the hymn For All Your Saints Still Striving, I present my own verses:
Now praise we Jose M'ria
Great founder of "The Work"
Even though 'bout half the Church
believes you are a jerk.
They fell for Dan Brown's slander:
murder, conspiracy.
We love your prelature, but
what's with the secrecy?
and
All praise to John Paul the Great,
who took on the Commies.
For his efforts he received
a slug in his tummy.
He preached human dignity
the Polish Pontifex,
and taught us every Wednesday
about the joys of sex.
