A Catholic Boy

 

Here’s the story of a Catholic boy and a Catholic priest

And I advise you to excuse yourself if your stomach is weak

‘Cause the priest took the boy to the beach

On an overnight camping retreat

But when the father disrobed and started wrassling and poking at him

That’s when the Catholic boy understood what a mess he was in

He understood why the good father ranted about sexual sin

 

Here’s the story of a Catholic boy and his Catholic dad

Daddy wanted his son to have a disciplined life as he had

So he put him through Catholic schools

Where they pay close attention to rules

And the Catholic priest took a personal interest in him

That’s when the Catholic boy got a hint what a mess he was in

He understood why the good father ranted about sexual sin

 

Sexual sin is an easy way in for the devil to conquer a soul

Once he gets in with his sexual sin he begins to devour it whole

And worse! And worse! Oh, yes! And much, much worse!

 

Here’s the story of a Catholic boy and his Catholic faith

When confronted with the Satan himself, would he bend, would he break?

Well, three times did the devil demand

But the boy felt the archangel’s hands

And he knew he would not become that man’s sexual sin

That’s when the Catholic boy punched the Catholic priest in the chin

Yeah, he understood why the good father ranted about sexual sin

So he punched him in the chin again and again and one more time

 

Sexual sin is an easy way in for the devil to conquer a soul

Once he gets in with his sexual sin he begins to devour it whole

And worse! And worse! Oh, yes! And much, much worse!

 

But here’s the story of a Catholic boy who conquered the curse

Another little story about a Catholic boy and the Catholic church

Text Box: NOTES ON THIS SONG
Sexual assault and sexual molestation by priests and other Catholic clergy on young boys does not just happen in the U.S. Nor is it confined to this generation. It is a world-wide practice that I believe is still protected by the clerical heirarchy. The lawsuits in the U.S. are fine, but my solution is to teach your kids to do what my buddy, Andrew and I did, which is to fight back. A few priestly black eyes, fat lips and bloody noses would make it  a lot easier to identify the predators.
