Priest APP

grabby priest
on a mission from God...

Father’s fuckin’ anything moving—
he’s on a mission from God
entering orifices he finds,
ferreting out sinners,

blowing up innocence,
routing the infidels—
collateral damage be damned!

Rome runs its centuries old APP:
Apologies-Payouts-Pedophilia…
