Trousered Ape

An exercise in presumption.

Sunday, September 11, 2005

Peony Moss of the Two Sleepy Mommies recently coined the term "legion of faithbots." Should anyone actually wish to establish such an organization, I can provide their marching song:

We are the Legion of Faithbots,
Marching to wage holy war.
Some say we're weird, but we say, "NOT!"
We have Saint-Esprit de corps.

Righteous and triumphalistic,
Eyes free of motes, beams, and planks;
Militant, martyr, and mystic,
All have a place in our ranks.

Thund'ring Gregorian chant will
Drown out the shrieks and the shocks,
As, wielding bell, book, and candle,
We cast out the heterodox.

We're the elite troops of Heaven,
Bemedaled, be-sashed, and be-starred,
Accorded the priv'lege to serve in
The Lord's own Praetorian Guard.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Please pray for the souls in Purgatory

May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace.
