Riffing on a pop song from the 1930s, Eccles takes a look at the Synod.
From Eccles is Saved
Following a document circulated by the USCCB explaining the "attitudes" required for "walking the synodal path", we felt it helpful to write a chorus you can sing as you do the Synod Walk. For those who don't know the music, there is this. It's at least as good as Marty Haugen's stuff!
Any evening, any day,1
You'll find us all
Doin' the Synod walk.1. In fact, all day long for several years.Ev'ry little Synod gal
With her little Synod pal,2
You'll find 'em all
Doin' the Synod walk.2. Of course LGBT couples are also welcome.Ev'rything's free3 and easy,
Do as you darn well pleasey,4
Why don't you make your way there,
Go there, stay there.3. For financial advice, please consult Cardinal Becciu.
4. Offer does not apply to traditional forms of worship.Once you get down Synod way,
Ev'ry evening, ev'ry day,
You'll find yourself
Doin' the Synod walk.Anytime you're Synod way
Any evening, any day,
You'll find us all
Doin' the Synod walk.Ev'ry little Synod gal
With her little Synod pal,
You'll find 'em all
Doin' the Synod walk!
LATE NEWS: after inviting comments on Twitter, and receiving a deluge of mocking, hostile responses, the USCCB closed off replies. This is how synods work.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
