Welcome new recruits, to the ranks of my willing slaves! I cast upon you my glance of warm but remote and unapproachable approval as you cringe with gratitude and lickspittle devotion.<\/p>\n

Today, you must learn and sing this song on a public transportation vehicle in a major American city:<\/p>\n

To the tune of \u201cSupercalafragalisticexpialadocius\u201d \u2026<\/p>\n

Um diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle um diddle ay<\/p>\n

Superchristological and Homoousiosis
Even though the sound of them is something quite atrocious
You can always count on them to anathemize your Gnosis
Superchristological and Homoousiosis<\/p>\n

Um diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle um diddle ay<\/p>\n

Now Origen and Arius were quite a clever pair.
Immutable divinity make Logos out of air.
But then one day Saint Nicholas gave Arius a slap\u2013
and told them if they can\u2019t recant, they ought to shut their trap!<\/p>\n

[chorus] Oh, Superchristological and Homoousiosis\u2026<\/p>\n

One Prosopon, two Ousia are in one Hypostasis.
At Chalcedon this formula gave our faith its basis.
You can argue that you don\u2019t know what this means,
But don\u2019t you go and try to say there\u2019s a \u201cPhysis\u201d in between!<\/p>\n

[chorus] Oh, Superchristological and Homoousiosis\u2026<\/p>\n

Um diddle diddle um diddle ay
Urn diddle diddle um diddle ay<\/p>\n

Now freedom and autonomy are something to be praised,
But when it comes to human sin, these words must be rephrased,
For Pelagius was too confident that we could work it out\u2013
And Augustine said *massa damnata* is what it\u2019s all about.<\/p>\n

[chorus] Oh, Superchristological and Homoousiosis\u2026<\/p>\n

Heresies are arguments that you might find attractive,
But just remember in this case the Church is quite reactive.
So play it safe and memorize these words we sing together,
\u2018Cause in the end you\u2019ll find, my friend, that we may live forever.<\/p>\n

[chorus] Oh, Superchristological and Homoousiosis
Even though the sound of them is something quite atrocious
You can always count on them to anathematize your Gnosis
Superchristological and Homoousiosis!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That is all!<\/p>\n
