The Boston Globe offers yet another article on the closing of St. Albert parish in Weymouth, Mass. This is the third just about the now-homeless Voice of the Faithful chapter. Okay, we’ve got the story! Enough!
If this isn’t cheerleading by a newspaper, I don’t know what is. The VOTF members are whining about not being welcomed at other parishes like all the other activities of St. Albert’s. Actually, the promise was that all “legitimate” ministries would be welcomed in remaining parishes. No parish should be forced to take in a group like VOTF which is a front organization for dissidence.

Teresa Heinz Kerry
Must make it quite scary
For handlers that plan her exposure.
Their plan to be guarded
She somewhere discarded
In favor of total disclosure.
Teresa Heinz Kerry
Seems really not very
Attached to First Lady discretion.
Except on her taxes
Her candor just waxes
She seems to prize every transgression.
Teresa Heinz Kerry
Is not some canary
With strictures on how she’ll converse.
She’ll tell those who bait her
Or might aggravate her
To mind their own business – or worse.
Teresa Heinz Kerry
Had delegates wary
When up to the platform she strode.
The speech was successful
But some find her stressful
Loose canons can always explode.
Sorry, that last was from Calvin Trillin.
