Ecclesia Dei/An Open Letter to Archbishop Vincent Nichols

Dear Archbishop Vincent Nichols, Your Grace,

We would like to make a plea, today

So here it is an open letter

We really hope you get it

Please help to bring about a change

We're gravely concerned

By some issues, Your Grace

And we would like you to listen today

Holy Church
She needs a mission

Some are falling into schism

Put these heretics please back in their place

Because this is the Ecclesia Dei

Ah yes and this is what you need to say, say:

“Holy Church is a Hospital for sinners,

Our Lord didn’t come for winners

But She’s also the School for Saints”

Yes, Her enemies assail Her everyday

But now the LGBT train’s on its way

Please tell Government ministers

"The Church is back in business!

This gay marriage plan’s a total disgrace!"

Because this is the Ecclesia Dei

Ah yes and this is what you need to say

“Come back to the Sacrament of Penance

Choose the narrow road to Heaven

Come on, brothers and sisters, be brave”

Resist them with every fibre of your being, Your Grace

Because we all will face our Judgement Day

We all pray you’ll be His Eminence

So bring Souls to prayer and penance

Don’t give any of God’s enemies sway

There’s another issue we’d really like to raise

These Soho Masses are a terrible shame

How can His Grace condemn the situation

Of public reparation

For the sacrilege that’s being embraced?

You see Our Lady’s tears keep falling!

Tears keep falling!

O from her Heavenly face!

All because Her Son’s Church is now ridden

With schismatic, hardened villains

Leading poor, lost, confused souls astray

Tell them that this is the Ecclesia Dei

Ah yes, and this is what you need to say

"We proclaim Christ and His Salvation

To a sad, desolate nation,

Where morality’s been laid to waste!“

Tell them that this is the Ecclesia Dei

Ah yes and this is what we have to say:

"Replace this Soho Mass commotion

With traditional devotion

Through Our Lady’s hands comes all Grace"

Cos’ Our Lady’s tears keep falling

Tears keep falling!

All over England and Wales!

But now this envelope is open

You’re in a good position to

Put the smile back on her face!

You have our prayers, your Grace

Our prayers, your Grace

We all truly long for the day

When you are called up for a ‘red hat’

Because you do deserve that

‘Cos you stood up for the Catholic Faith!

You have our prayers, Your Grace

Our prayers, your Grace

Please help to make a change today

We don’t want to send this to the Congre-

gation of the Doctrine
of the Faith or to
"Ecclesia Dei"

We hope this letter finds you well, Your Grace

Your loyal, humble servants we remain

p.s Please ban The Tablet’s liberal evil

being sold in the Cathedral

Put those heretics please back in their place
Because you're the Catholic Archbishop
Feet firmly in the stirrups
Ride that horse
 Restore the Church, please, Your Grace
