The Holy See

The Holy See Pope Benedict Hands in his purple dress Fed up and tired Wonder if God in heaven Has not gone and retired too Prejudices Who will stand up And defend the Christians A vanishing group In the sea of intolerant Islam Cowardly is our silence

'A vanishing group'... Hmmm, I just read recently that the number of christians, worldwide, increased by 20% over the last 10 years... but perhaps that is either propaganda, or just wishful thinking... one group that has (almost?) vanished many moons ago is that of the witches... by water, by fire, by whatever ("thou shalt not suffer a witch to live"... prejudice?)... although I have also heard that witchcraft is again on the rise... a new fire brigade needed???
