This is from a comment on a post called Kevin’s Substack. You can read the full article about accepting Vatican II, HERE.
Here’s the comment by Steve Kraut. Too clever, no?
Rescue Vatican II
based on The Ballad of Jed Clampett (Paul Henning)
Lyrics by Mr. Steve (Some adapted from Paul)
verse 1:
Come and listen to my story bout, a man named John,
the poor lonely pope who thought, the Church’s spark was gone.
But then one day, he thought; “we shall not despair,”
let’s open up the windows and, let in some fresh air.
verse 2:
Well, the bishops missed the boat, cuz they wuz all asleep,
forgot to read the fine print, and watch it slowly creep.
Signed-off on all the documents, 2000 votes to four,
and Mr. Stinky’s smoke slips through, a crack in the floor.
chorus:
Well heck, now t’aint no joke.
the Council didn’t speak what it spoke.
We got to put the foot in the other shoe,
and rescue Va-ti-can 2.
verse 3:
Marcel and Ottaviani said “Watch out what you sow!“
Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi, this is what we know,
but Boo-nini holding all the cards, he was mighty sly,
he gave Saint Pope the bait-and-switch and hung him out to dry.
verse 4:
So now we swim-in-a-swamp of e-cu-meni-ical-ism,
We cannuh preach Nu-la-sal-us, Captain, just any old what-ever-ism.
Our poorly-formed consciences say don’t dare share the Good News,
Ohhh, God forbid that we’d upset the Muslims and the Jews!
chorus:
Well heck, now whadda we gonna do?
They’ve watered down what we knew was true.
We got-ta put-ta foot-ta in the other shoe,
and rescue Va-ti-can 2.
verse 5:
So now we’re in the Church of, Syn-no-dal-ity,
We’ve gotta stop the TLM, for the sake of unity!
Us lousy, backward, ridge-ed Trads, are giving him a fit,
so, in your pipe and smoke it, cuz ain’t not gonna quit!
chorus:
hey now, whaddaya say?
They wanna bless you, cuz you are gay,
It’s time we PUT OUR FOOT DOWN on the other shoooooooo …
and cancel Va-ti-can 2. (come on, what is it?)
and cancel Va-ti-can. (don’t you mean revisit?)
Nahhhh, CANCEL VA-TI-CAN 2!
