fulfill their deepest vocation

Necessary emphasis should be placed also on
those ordinary women
who reveal the gift of their womanhood
by placing themselves at the service of others

For in giving themselves to others each day
women fulfill their deepest vocation

Letter to Women, Message of His Holiness
POPE JOHN PAUL II, July 10

of course, according to your religion women
should be your servants, they should answer to you
women can’t be preists, or fulfill their dreams
women have to rely on men to protect their rights

of course, god was created in man’s image
and, according to you, woman came from man
just so she could churn out all his kids
and that’s probably why you ban birth control, too
keep pressing your thumb down a little harder
so that no one can get out of your control
you, being the man, the ruler, the leader, the pope.
