Pedophile priests

and their accomplices, nuns,

had me reaching for an earlier work.

Hell, Purgatory, Limbo and Heaven:

One down three to go.

Pope abolishes 'Limbo'.

Apr 20, 2007

She leant forward

and uncrossed her legs

saying: ''You forget
the fall back position
of the Catholic church.
'Limbo'
According to the Catholic church
all 'souls' that had no faith
but were without sin-
ended up there.
I envisage millions of babies
crawling around for eternity,
crying for their mums!''...

I'm not sure where Harry is coming from here - from three such disparate angles. The comments sound like a 'stung' response.

I don't accept your blanket statement about priests and nuns (applicable to all religious groups having similar 'orders'.) I think it is just as biased as the opposite. IMO, Extremes are never valid because they lack the potential argument of persuasion. But I do totally agree to the abolition of the four 'states' which are merely invidious mind-control of the masses.

I do enjoy your contributions.

TOMMY,(I noted this before bronchitis no2 hit)

So you won`t give the pope the Falklands back as an enthronement gesture.

But think what poetry would lose if it lost the word (and speculation)of `Limbo`.

(Your last four lines would be a very moving conclusion to a poem about those one hundred and fifty-odd thousand British womb-dwellers who were clinically and chemically `induced` into eternity last year)

But no sweat - our pensions are safe - we are replacing them down here with all those little foreign womb -dwellers who managed to `make it` and grew up to immigrate here and work for us.
