        Just when you think Catholics can't be any more ridiculous...

        This from an organisation that *finally* decided to forgive the Jews a few years back, for murdering Jesus, despite the fact that if he hadn't died their entire pompous overblown organisation wouldn't exist.

        I'm sure Beatles fans the world over must be breathing a sigh of relief and catholics will be rushing out to buy beatles albums again.

        Honestly...

              The paper described the remark as "showing off, bragging by a young English working-class musician who had grown up in the age of Elvis Presley and rock and roll and had enjoyed unexpected success".
              Ah, he only said something foolish because he was working class. So that's OK then.

                L'Osservatore Romano recently got a new editor and now - apart from chronicling the Pope's daily doings and printing the texts of papal speeches - it sometimes runs articles on entertainment on inside pages, together with extensive reporting on world affairs.
                Unlikely that anyone is likely to ever read about this, given that they'll probably never make it to the entertainment pages because the articles about the popes daily 'doings' (I don't even wanna think about that) and the texts of his papal speeches must be just so incredibly rivetting it'd be impossible to drag yourself away from them...

                  Rather like Jeremy Clarkson being able to do/say what he likes? As everyone knows its only tongue in cheek.

                  I believe he got away with doing a nazi salute once for that reason.

                    Don't you read the court circular in the paper in a morning/weekend? Well, it's much the same thing, except for church people.
