Hymn Lyrics - Singles - Romanovsky And Phillips

(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
