I am a Daughter of Trent Sample #1
We’ve tried to address many conservative complaints in one place in this lyric to be sung to “Be Not Afraid”.
You shall hear heretics preaching, but you will not lose your faith;
You shall attend invalid Masses, without intending so;
You’ll have priests tell you “That’s not a sin”, but confess it anyway.
You’re just a Catholic that’s stuck in today.
Be not afraid, remember Matthew 16
Even the gates of hell shall not prevail.
(Note: while this usage of “confess” is highly offensive to many, it’s included here as a way of earning the trust of wingnuts.)
