I am the pope below the Pope you know.
If mistakes need to made, I make them.
If clarifications need to be clarified, our
Office of the Propagation Of the Faith
churns out engaging filigrees of faithery
that few of the media can read/penetrate;
anyone can quote an unter Pope; few can
really explain an uber Pope; few even try.
Can you really grasp my sub-significance,
comprehend my sub-utility to uber Popery?
You say you can, but you lack terminology
to justify my position vs the uber Pope’s.
Think: Caliban to Ariel; road to rubber.
Lie down & we will slowly flatten you.
