US Bishop Admits the Extent of the Disaster of the Spirit of VII

The Tiber and the Rhine [to be sung to the tune of Cliff Richard's 'Mistletoe and Wine']

50 years since the Council

An anniversary

The 'Spirit of the Council' still lives on today

EMHCs, altar girls, tambourines 

Polyester vestments, les dansers liturgique

Christmas time, its Rahner cold outside

So put another heretic on the fire

With Tablets on the pyre and Kung’s theology

A time to lament the 1960s

A time for a sober reflection on the Council, 

A time for the SSPX to maybe chill out 

Then Lefebvre, now Fellay, we see you have a case

But for Pete’s sake if you’re not with us, 

Then what difference can you make? 

Help!

Christmas time, the Tiber met the Rhine

We hoped Protestants and Catholics would unite 

So we altered the texts of the glorious Mass, 

We banished the Latin

Now the liturgy's crass 

Christmas time, the Tiber met the Rhine 

And now we long for the Mass Tridentine 

A Rite that fell into widespread disuse 

Now we’re bombarded weekly with liturgical abuse 

It's a time for reflecting, a time for regretting

The countless number of souls who just stopped attending

Now a new generation looks for someone to blame

Cardinal Bugnini, ah how we venerate your name!

Christmas time, its Rahner cold outside

So put another heretic on the fire

With Tablets on the pyre with Kung’s theology

A time to lament the 1960s

Christmas time, the Tiber met the Rhine

We hoped Protestants and Catholics would unite

So we altered the texts of the glorious Mass

Banished the Latin

Now the liturgy's crass 

Christmas time, the Tiber met the Rhine 

And now we long for the Mass Tridentine 

A Rite that fell into widespread disuse 

And now we’re bombarded weekly with liturgical abuse

Christmas time, its Rahner cold outside

So put another heretic on the fire

With Tablets on the pyre with Kung’s theology

A time to lament the 1960s

[Song fades with school children singing the chorus, while setting fire to the works of various discredited theologians and throwing darts at poster of Bugnini]
