Progressive Clerics say that love is love
And priests can bless these unions as they please
But faithful Catholics say that natural law rules
And only man and woman can get the keys
Laity do not like it when their priests
Bless same-sex unions as God won’t approve
They say it goes against Catholic faith
And makes them feel like they have to move
Trusted theologians say to them: “You cannot bless!
Your ‘union’ is not something God has made
You cannot bless sin, you are not right
You as priests are doing something God forbade
But you claim love is love, no matter what
And every couple deserves to be happy
The priests who bless the same sex pairs
Are claiming this is kind and what is snappy
Priests say to them: “You can be blessed!
You are a part of God’s diverse creation
You are like us, you are alright
You are welcome in our celebration”
So you trads, let us all be kind and fair
And let us all respect each other’s “choices”
Let us not judge or hate or fear
But listen to each other’s hearts and voices
