That Anglican Divorce Thing (Again!)

Your Holiness, we didn’t see this one coming—
Anglican congregations are
divorcing—amicably!
They’re all “No thanks, Rome,
we’re cool. We’re even praying
for each other.” We know, Your Holiness.
They can pray all they want, they’re still
heretics. Your Holiness?
(Muttered German cursing;
swishing of silken robes; furious soft
padding of Prada slippers)
