They were given warning,
"purify yourselves,"
they sought not purity,
but rather said of themselves,
"we are already pure."

They say to themselves,
"I am feeding Christ's flocks,"
but in truth, they are driving them,
in great numbers,
into outer darkness,
a place with wolves & demons.

Each day, bringing more sheep,
into the husk of Rome's Churches;
sending them forth unto damnation.

Had they sacked the altars,
burned up the sacred art;
and pronounced to the world,
"we hate The Holy Name, 'Jesus,'"
they would be far less guilty.

But instead, they say,
"come, we will show you the way,"
putting on the mark of holiness;
saying, "we are servants of Christ."

They serve themselves,
it is their own vanity they serve;
using Jesus to clothe themselves,
but taking inside themselves,
no trace of virtue or holiness.

They have become Judas Iscariot.
