Silenus: My dearest friends, let us now engage,
In a debate of wit, a verbal page.
I say, my ale is the best by far,
Its rich, bold flavor can't be topped by a star.

Aegir: Oh please, Silenus, don't be absurd,
Wine is the drink that should be preferred.
Its smooth, refined taste is unmatched,
A drink to be enjoyed, fully dispatched.

Bacchus: Yes, wine is a drink that's truly grand,
It's the drink of kings, as we all understand.
Its complex flavors and aromas delight,
A drink to be savored and enjoyed with sight.

Dionysus: Plus, wine has a certain je ne sais quoi,
It's a drink that can make any evening aglow.
Its sophisticated air is hard to beat,
A drink that's truly refined and complete.

Nephthys: But beer has a charm that cannot be beat,
It's a drink that's always ready for a seat.
Its rich, malty flavor is oh so fine,
A drink that's truly divine.

Ninkasi: Plus, beer is a drink for the masses,
Wine is just for the high classes.
Its simplicity and ease is hard to ignore,
A drink that's always in high demand, never a bore.

Silenus: That may be true, Ninkasi, but beer can be just as grand,
It's a drink that's loved by people from every land.
Its versatility and adaptability make it a clear winner,
A drink that's always a hit, never a sinner.

Aegir: But wine has a certain sophistication and flair,
A drink to be savored with care.
Its complex flavors and aromas are a delight,
A drink that's meant to be enjoyed in the bright light.

Bacchus: Plus, wine has a rich history and tradition,
A drink that's revered and mentioned.
Its art and craft are truly divine,
A drink that's truly one of a kind.

Dionysus: In the end, it is a matter of taste,
But I stand by my belief that wine is truly the best in the race.
Its refinement and sophistication cannot be beat,
A drink that's truly a culinary treat.

Nephthys: And I stand by my belief that beer is the drink of the masses,
A drink that brings joy and happiness.
Its simplicity and ease are hard to ignore,
A drink that's always in high demand, never a bore.

Ninkasi: No matter which drink we choose,
We are all friends, that's what's most important, let's raise a toast, no excuse!
Let's raise a glass and enjoy each other's presence,
Regardless of personal preference.
Here's to friendship, a bond so true,
Cheers to all of us, here's to you!

Ok, I don't even disagree. But we have historical record about power struggle between monasteries and cathedrals, and record of how monks like to drink wine and beer, and like to sing dirty songs, crack jokes and play satirical plays about the church and the faith. Although many other clergy outside of monastery did probably as well. But those mentioned before probably had stronger faith than you, as they can make jokes about it and the church. While you seem to cling to some fantasy about the clergy and the church.
