Secundae Lamentatiae Judae
The rules of engagement dictate that when starting conversation
On matters of the utmost concern there should be no reservation
Yet those who insist in entertaining the atheist and agnostic
Open deep wounds in the Church that are known to be caustic
Burning through the very foundations upon which she stands
Forcing it to be subject to compromise, unscrupulous demands
Likewise to enter in dialogue with the liberal of modernity
Is to become a slave to progress and disregard all certainty
In the truth of the Gospel message and meaning of tradition
Which become mere mythical constructs and pious superstition
