A reader sent me a version of his very funny Gilbert & Sullivan
parody.
I am the very model of a RomanCatholicWomanpriest™
I have no valid sacramental ordination in the least
I celebrate Diversity supremely superficially
Conjoining L-G-B-T couples controversially
I’m very well acquainted, too, with Eco-Cycle-Mania
I generate more laughter than O-BER-on and Titania
I feel a Call To Action is required by the Spirit, now
As far as Modern Norms of Civil DisobediENCE Allow

allow-alLOW-ALLOW-ALLOW-ALlow-allow
I’m very skilled at irritating stodgy old Conservatives
Prefer to buy All-Natural so I eschew preservatives
In short, in Matters Feminist, where Common Sense is now deceased
I am the very model of a RomanCatholicWomanpriest™

She is the very model of a RomanCatholicWomanpriest™
I know Mass rubrics well and I ignore them as traditional
I long for Inclusivity so I deplore Partitonal–
Division in the Worship Space or on a floating river craft
And had my feelings hurt when gentlemen like Father Rutler laughed
I practice Wiccan rituals like Harvesting the Springtime Mead
Don’t knock McBrien, Thomas Fox and other authors that I read
I advocate for Wymyn’s Health and Peace & Justices
issues, too
And whistle all the catchy tunes from OCP and Worship II

II-tee-II-tee-II-tee-II-tee-II-tee-II
I tend to gossip with the girls; use caution when confessing
“sin”
My scarfish-stoles are chosen for the color of the season

I pretend that Mary was a priest but question Im-ma-CU-la-ty
“A Loving God/de won’t send to Hell” so
fear no Reprobacity
I know Reiki better than a Buddhist Monk from Katmandu
Western Civ is Dominating: don’t believe it’s worth
a Sou
I’m suspicious of the male, hierarchical autocracy
We believe our moral precepts should be churned out by democracy
And emasculate the NFL before the Y-chrom spreads some more
Being relegated to a convent just became an awful bore
Being relegated to a convent just became an awful bore
Being relegated to a convent just became an awful bore
Being relegated to a convent just became an awful awful awFUL AWFUL
AWFUL AWful bore
Despite my lack of formatory wisdom to be Presbyter
The bishops who ordain us remain hiding with the stench of fear
But still, in Matters Feminist, where Common Sense is now deceased

Totally stole my idea! Except I was going to call my Pinafore parody “I am the very model of a modern menial Catholic”
I’ve been amassing “ic” words for a little while but I don’t think I can fill a whole song yet.
I’ll let you know how it goes…
VERY funny…
Oh, and it’s Matthew Fox not Thomas…doesn’t hurt the scansion though.
Fr. Philip, OP
holy cow. Funny. Where do you get that kind of time? I would’ve started and then gotten lazy after two verses ending it with a …
Thanks for the link, Jeff!
And whistle all those catchy tunes from OCP and GATHER II would be funnier (as WORSHIP II is quite good).

Oh this is just wonderful. Now I’ll be humming this tune for the rest of the evening.
Just another tune to have singing.
