At the height of their fame, The Beatles enraged the Roman Catholic Church when John Lennon famously declared that they were bigger than Jesus.

Their enthusiastic pursuit of the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll life also did little to convince the Vatican that they were anything other than a thoroughly bad influence.

But now, in a move sanctioned by Pope Benedict XVI, the Catholic Church has FORGIVEN the Fab Four for their various excesses and even gone so far as to laud them as a "precious jewel."

Well thats mighty good of him now i can sleep in peace .


shall we forgive the catholic church for....
all the people they killed during the inquisition
all the witches they burned or drowned
all the boys the priests abused .

i think not .

Lennon never hurt anyone he is the one that should be doing the forgiving,if he was still with us


someone please tell the pope we have freedom of speech here

you dont have to like what was said

Lennons answer would probably be:




Ev'rybody's talking about
Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism
This-ism, that-ism, is-m, is-m, is-m.

All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

C'mon
Ev'rybody's talking about Ministers,
Sinisters, Banisters and canisters
Bishops and Fishops and Rabbis and Pop eyes,
And bye bye, bye byes.

All we are saying is give peace a chance

If only the Pope could apply that and the secular judicial system would forgive and forget...
