The Pope is coming on the Joe Duffy Show
Wherever the people are gathered, I want to be
However Irish men and Irish women care to listen,
I want to be
among those who have supported me
those who built my churches
my schools
my hospitals
my laundries
my graveyards.
I have prayers to make
on Joe Duffy,
Confessions to make
on TalkToJoe.
Contritions to express
on Liveline,
Penance to receive.
DIVINE HEADLINE
Will Joe take my call?
Hear my all?
At all?
Don’t I deserve to be heard?
Can you not stomach another apology?
Another stream of Vatican Vernacular Verbatim?
They call me Francis
I am not Franciscus
I am the Vatican
Institutional Man
I stand for the Vatican
I behave the Vatican Way
I did not write a letter
There was one on file
Rome designed the words for me to deliver.
Rome will be on Joe Duffy.
If Irish children, Irish women and Irish men
believe,
if you believe me, the Vatican, the Bishop of Rome.
Wherever the people are gathered,
I want your belief
Will you have me on the show?
Will your researchers prepare me?
Calm my nerves?
Steady my trembling tongue?

I am the Holy See.
