O POPES, BISHOPS AND PRIESTS

O popes, bishops and priests,
Of our beloved Church,
How much I wish you would allow me to address you simply as ‘My father’,
Not with the many inflated titles of late,
And you respond with the endearing, ‘My son’.
Let’s end the title’s debate,
That creates divisions of small and great.
Nothing is more beautiful at any rate,
Than ties that exist between father and son.
