He puts the papa in paparazzi: Francis and the ever-present Humblecam.
With so many reasons for “traditionalists” (aka Catholics) to weep openly these days, it’s high time for a little levity.
Mama Watch Me
Headed down the road and feelin’ just fine
Humblin’ my way to the Office Petrine
Starin’ up to Rome
Pray to God I see cameras
I made it to the loggia and asked ‘em to pray
Returned to the hotel the very next day
And I’m a hopin’ and a prayin’
They can see me payin’ alright
So watch me mama keep a looking at me
Watch me mama my humility
Hey, mama watch me
Watch me mama I’m a washin’ the feet
Watch me mama gettin’ down on my knees
Hey, mama watch me
Runnin’ from the mess I made in Argentina
Got an ear for Marty Haugen not much for Palestrina
I’m a partial Pentecostal
And a Jew somehow
Oh, those ol’ Ros’ry counters keep a gettin’ me down
Lost my sense of the sacred so I had to lash out
But I ain’t turnin’ back
To livin’ that old faith no more
So watch me mama keep a looking at me
Watch me mama my humility
Hey, mama watch me
Watch me mama I’m a washin’ the feet
Watch me mama gettin’ down on my knees
Hey, mama watch me
Talkin’ to the press on the papal plane
Jesuit perspective
Some think me insane
I know what I’m doin’ no slip of the tongue
It’s manifest heresy
And I got to get a move on before it’s too late
The one-world-religion
Can no longer wait
And if I die in office
They’ll canonize me
So watch me mama keep a looking at me
Watch me mama my humility
Hey, mama watch me
Watch me mama I’m a washin’ the feet
Watch me mama gettin’ down on my knees
Hey, mama watch me
That is great fun. Well done! You’re a real Italian hillbilly, Louie. $$ going into your tin cup. Thank you.
Keep up your good, creative, Truth revealing, soul edifying, holy and important work.
Like the Billy Joel Styled “Heresy” & “I Can’t Get No Genuflection” before that, all Classical Satire, Louie.
Keep The Hits Comin’!
Fly to the Catholic Church! Adhere to the only faith which continues to exist from the beginning, that faith which was preached by Paul and is upheld by the Chair of Peter.

Saint Matthew recorded Jesus’ teaching on the subject:
Matthew 6:1-6
Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Michael F Poulin
While we’re on the topic of “public displays of humility” let me say this: The whole public foot washing thing is a joke and a demon inspired insult to what Christ did in the strict privacy of the upper room at the Last Supper. It was a private instruction of the Master to His disciples as an example how they should serve His other disciples. It was not ever meant to be a public spectacle where Catholic bishops or priests get to stage a photo-op washing random heretic’s feet. Tell me – how many of these washed-foot people converted to the Catholic faith and become Catholic priests?
Francis isn’t humble. He’s humiliating.
I’m dying with laughter! I must confess I’ve watched/listened at least 10 times! This really made my day!! Things are so bad we can either cry or laugh, let’s choose to laugh! Great job Louie!!! Please keep making things like this! I’m sure many are also anxiously awaiting the return of the “Tradwriter”! 🙂 Thanks again for helping keep us sane! God bless!
To apply the Zen koan, which posits “If no one is present to hear a falling tree, would it make a sound?”, I ponder, if no photographers were present, would Francis really exist?
“If Francis speaks and no one hears him, is he still a heretic?”
Keep chippin’ away at it, Mr. V, and keep the volume up high!
I just read on the 1Peter5 blog, that Cardinal Schonborn spoke July 29th about
“the existence of a fierce and organized opposition to Pope Francis, [which is being]carried out in certain Catholics circles.” and… “We are currently witnessing intensive inner-church debates – not so much in Austria, but internationally – as there is, quite evidently, a very strong, significant opposition to Pope Francis.” He adds that this opposition to the pope has been “very active and very loud,”.
He also said “he had just spoken, the week before, with Pope Francis about this strong, manifest resistance that has taken root against his reforms and was impressed that the pope’s response was, “We must try to win over this inner-church opposition lovingly”.
Now is not the time to waver in our defense of the Truths that are under attack by this Pope and his troops under Satan’s influence.
