Pope Francis remarks

Pope Francis gives Catholic priests permission to bless same sex couples, 18th Dec 2023 

When the words fell into he's ear
And he said it out in public
It was unclear if it was he who said it
Or there was something in him that did 

Cause he said very little
But it's caused lots of thought 
Lots of chat on where the church stands
And confusion of what this means going forth 

This are trying times for the church
We forget that he's human
He's subject to bias that might not really reflect,
the best interest of the church 

This shows he's also like any human 
So high up in his head that he forgets
That he can fall even when you high enough
I hope the church doesn't fall with him 

When the words fell into our ears
It felt like he was a puppet
Like he was acting in someone else's capacity
But whose best interest he served we might truly never know
