The Pope’s Message To Women


The Pope was trying to butter up women,

Belgians, in particular,

and get them to accept their role in The Church,

in so far as they had one.


He called them ‘Fertile Cauldrons of Creation,’

or something like that; it had ‘fertile’ in it.

I’m improvising a little here,

paraphrasing but not making things up entirely.


Anyway, that was his seminal message, the gist and grist

for the mortar to chew on, at least as a pestle might see it--

innocently. And he got up their noses!

Set The Church back several years.
