Pedophile Priestly Portrayal
By
James Bredin
I can now see who they are by name, diocese, or US state,
Pedophile priests in alphabetical order without debate,
Lawsuits, criminal charges, bishops' assistance and priests who fled,
Thanks to the Internet which pompous criminal bishops dread.
More graphic stories could not have come out of the depths of hell,
The Americans, unlike the Irish, have journalists who tell,
Child molesters employed as priests teaching children research,
This is not some government scandal, this is the Catholic Church.
Pompous secretive bishops cover for their criminal priests,
Squelch anything that could lead to embarrassment in the least,
Molestation complaints kept secret from the community for years,
While accused and abused children often lived in fear and tears.
