Romanovsky And Phillips Be Political Not Polite Hymn (I have no patience left for the Catholic Church. For those who do, it is my hope that you will not compromise yourselves but will aggressively work towards bringing them into the 20th century.) If there's something to be learned From examining the past It's that institutions change Or else they do not last Now you are such a dinosaur In the ancient ways you think And if you do not soon adapt You too will be extinct I believe that Christ's intention Many centuries ago Was to serve and to enlighten And to guide our spiritual growth But the latest word from Rome Is not a loving one at all If Jesus walked on earth today I think he'd be appalled Now the priesthood's quickly shrinking But you won't let women in And instead of teaching safer sex You condemn it as a sin You deny all women the right To decide their bodies' fate Suggesting that their purpose here Is just to procreate You say that gays and lesbians Are fallen from God's grace And tacitly you sanction All the violence that we face You distort the Bible's words To support your platitudes But bigotry is not A very Christian attitude Now as for reformation I have very little hope But if you think it can be done Go and tell it to the Pope 'Cause the clergy and parishioners Who are still inside the closet Support this persecution Even if they do not cause it |
