A Catholic Girl's True Story
A Catholic Girl's True Story
I was only nine, when I was
denied absolution!
I had eaten meat on on a
Friday, tsk,tsk.
To burn in hell 'twas the
Priest's resolution?
Daddy raged at the Chancery
Office.
How dismayed he was at all
this!
I had to go back to the Church,
the pastor heard my Confession.
How frightening this was for
a little girl!
Who thought she was headed
for hell!
I thought obeying your parents
was more important than eating
smelly, halibut from hell.
Mom had cooked the meat not
me.
I was simply following orders!
How the Church has changed!
Now they can't keep their own priests in line,
To follow Holy Orders!
