[Pastor Ezekiel]

THIS story is enough to make any red-blooded True Christian™ Republican enraged. Remember "The Beatles?" Remember how they promoted hippie-ism, drug addiction, communism, disrespect for authority, and most of all BLASPHEMY!!??

Well now the antichrists in Rome, in the midst of a growing scandal boy buggery, has decided to forgive the "fab four." How they figure that the Roman Catholic Church has the authority is beyond me.

Vatican makes peace with the Beatles


VATICAN CITY--The Vatican has finally made peace with the Beatles, saying their drug use, "dissolute" lives and even the claim that the band was bigger than Jesus are all in the past - while their music lives on.

Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano paid tribute to the Fab Four in its weekend editions, with two articles and a front-page cartoon reproducing the crosswalk immortalized on the cover of the band's album "Abbey Road."

The tribute marked the 40th anniversary of the band's breakup.

"It's true, they took drugs; swept up by their success, they lived dissolute and uninhibited lives," said the paper. "They even said they were more famous than Jesus," it said, recalling John Lennon's 1966 comment that outraged many Catholics and others.

"But, listening to their songs, all of this seems distant and meaningless," L'Osservatore said. "Their beautiful melodies, which changed forever pop music and still give us emotions, live on like precious jewels."

It is not the first time the Vatican has praised the legendary band from Liverpool.

Two years ago, Vatican media hailed the Beatles' musical legacy on the 40th anniversary of the "White Album." And last month the Vatican paper included "Revolver" in its semiserious list of top-10 albums.

Now, L'Osservatore says that the Beatles' songs have stood the test of time, and that the band remains "the longest-lasting, most consistent and representative phenomenon in the history of pop music."

Giovanni Maria Vian, the editor in chief of L'Osservatore Romano, said Monday that he loves the Beatles.

Shocking but not surprising.


Perhaps some Vatican hack has a weird fetish or something. This whole thing is weird in the extreme. You are correct Pastor, what gives them the right??


Upon reflection;

you know, there have been 2 Popes named John Paul, and that 2 of the Beatles are John (Lenin) and Paul (McCartney). I can't help but think there is something conspiratorial going on. And something pretty sinister indeed.

Perhaps we need to cc the DoF on this??

The same Beatles that claimed to be more popular then Jesus? Only a catholic...

I think they're only doing this to draw attention away from the fact that all cath-olick priests are kiddie-touchers and their sick little secret is finally getting out.

That and they've lost their respect for Jesus.

How does this affect the Landover- Beatles Rock Star promotion for users who won the Playstation3 by joining up?

[Cranky Old Man]

This is clearly a diversion tactic. They use the music to make it harder to hear the screams of the innocent children they are raping. This way they can make it seem as if they actually care about the music. They probably got some questions as to why that music was always playing so loud.

That is never needed. The DoF sees all and knows all. It helps to have Jesus on your side.
