Sonnet Xviii Follow Christ

SONNET XVIII
FOLLOW CHRIST

Not to be More Catholic Than the Pope
–often said but, what if
What if the Pope is not Catholic Enough?

Hello, here is the point,
That in the Race of Christianity,
No Man However so Esteemed
Esteemed and Approved by People
Is Fit Enough to be our Standard.

The only Standard is Christ
Hence, Not Pope-like, but Christ-like,
Christ-like Not Bishop or Apostle-like.
Apostle Paul said and I quote
Follow Me as I Follow Christ.
I.e. Christ is the Goal, Not Paul.
