The song represented a sacred Catechism for those Catholics who wished to continue to be reminded of their beliefs and pass them on to their children.

Complete crap. There is not one of these supposed Romanish beliefs that was not held by the Established Church of England.

These don't seem to hang together to me. I can't really see how, for example, 6 geese a-laying has anything to do with the 6 days of creation.

I suspect that someone's trying to sanctify this song after the fact.

I would be open to reading any kind of evidence that this was written for the purposes stated in the thread. But, I didn't see any such evidence in the article itself.
