Vatican City--Feb, 2019--

Jambalaya Jumble

Goodbye The-o, you gotta go, me-o my-oh
Laicized, under the bus they’re gonna throw-yo,
Dressed red style, go hog-wild and be gay-oh
Son-of-a-gun gonna have good fun on Tiber bayou.

Now you know, trained by yo, to run conclave-oh
Gotta go, gonna be the Camerleng-o,
Pick my pope, maybe me, that’d be gay-oh
Son-of-a-gun, gonna have good fun on Tiber bayou.

Oh $lush fund time, hu$h cash mine, me-o my-oh
Gotta grease wheels to get ma cher a-mi-o,
Cupich-o, Kaspar-o, that’d be gay-oh
Son-of-a gun gonna have good fun on Tiber bayou.

Oh Jambalaya, pizza pie,and a fillet gumbo
Gotta go, gonna be the Camerleng-o,
Pick our guy, St. Gallen-style, and be gay-o
Son-of-a-gun gonna have good fun on Tiber bayou.

 

 

 

 

 

Own comment: 

Bergoglio appointed one of McCarrick's closest aides to be camerlengo - the guy who is in charge of the papal conclave. The man is obviously one big scandal-magnet, and has pleased very few not inclined to absolute pervesion.

Over att EcclessIsSaved,t hey couldn't help themselves but satire the whole situation. I especially liked this part:

But let us suppose that we are going to have a papal conclave. Then the camerlengo has to organize it. He kicks the seminarians out of the cardinals' beds (where applicable), locks up the supplies of drugs, and in general does all he can to make the participating cardinals look like holy princes of the church.

If we are lukcy he will at least get that right, although I doubt he dill do much else good.
