Vatican, We’ve Got A Problem Poem by Joe Rosochacki

I don’t believe it, Pope Benedict XVI,
The holy authority of the Roman Catholic Church,
Condones the treatment which was given to Galileo,
Galileo who was convicted of heresy though not being lit as a torch,
But nonetheless was given house arrest and being told to recant his findings.
Galileo’s findings were based upon Copernicus, not just someone,
Galileo ventured to inform the masses in 1633,
That the earth revolves around the sun.
The previous Papalness Pope John Paul II did vindicate Galileo after almost 400 years,
But now Pope Benedict XVI condones the theories used at that time.
Now has the church gone mad, Pope Benedict XVI,
Would not allow the church to be faulted,
The rational scientific mind of man would not be exalted.
Pope Benedict XVI you have got to be kidding.
You are insane, by not admitting that Galileo had been right,
And the Roman Catholic Church wrong,
You are undermining to validity of your church.
Let us go back to Baltimore Catechism and Pagan Babies,
Let all Protestants go to Hades,
Let the Jews bake in the ovens of your homeland.
I THINK NOT!
Let’s praise Galileo and admonish you and those who came before you.
