Jacqueline R. Mendoza Poet Dramatic Monologue

Notes About The Poem

St. Andrew Catholic Church, Pastor Fr. Piers Lahey, 1571 Southgate Avenue, Daly City, CA. 94015

 

Vindication

Also believe that there is but one Father in Heaven
Why do we call our Catholic priest, father
Is it not true that Jesus Christ is also a Priest
A Catholics Eternal High Priest, He is

Spoke to my mother
Said I cannot force people
I'm not forcing
What I'm saying is a fact

Called Jesus Christ, Father Christ
Chose Christ because Christ means Messiah
My dear Catholics please help me
Need vindication for this

Spiritual Director is Father Piers
Have a hard time understanding
My mother as well
What or why is it hard to understand

Poets said it's not in the bible
I know it is not
But it is a fact
Jesus Christ is also a Catholic Priest

Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly June 14, 2018 at 2:54 PM I would love to learn the answers as well, Jacqueline, and why do priests and fathers take confessions. Only God has the Divine Power to forgive us of our sins. It's as though the catholic church is asserting itself as God, which would be the same intent as lucifer's. In these days of so many false prophets, we must ask questions. ..And why is the 1st day of the week named the Sabbath, instead of the 7th, as God's Ten Commandments states? Good lines, good questions. God bless. :) ~ Artsie
