One word.
A single word wrong.
I’m not perfect or good enough to judge.
But a pronoun mix-up seems like an honest mistake.
One that could send thousands back to the water.
An easy fix, re-baptize and send on their merry way.
Not today Satan, we’ll get the words right this time.
Funny how one word is a enough to get a priest to step down for good.
While we watch a bishop shuffle every time they get caught with a child.
A slap on the wrist for repeated molestation,
One wrong word for thousands of damnations.
One word.

Wow! This was punched with meaning and I felt the power. By any chance, is the word "He?" You mention pronoun so just my take on it. 💖🧐
Good guess! Actually, this poem is about a catholic priest who messed up a pronoun (swapped 'I' and 'We') while baptizing people for about 20 years, and resigned because of it.
