Vatican celebrating Beatles' White Album

DdC · 11-23-2008, 05:41 PM

Vatican Radio is celebrating
the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' White Album.

Vatican: Beatles music better than today's songs
Sun Nov 23, 2008 VATICAN CITY

Vatican media are praising the Beatles' musical legacy and sounding philosophical about John Lennon's boast that the British band was more popular than Jesus.

Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano recalls that Lennon's comment outraged many when he made it in 1966.

But it says in its Saturday edition that the remark can be written off now as the bragging of a young man wrestling with unexpected success.

The newspaper as well as Vatican Radio last week noted the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' "White Album."

It said the album demonstrated how creative the Beatles were, compared with what it called the "standardized, stereotypical" songs being produced today.

What do you think of the Vatican celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the "White Album"?

ACLU Sues Over Faith-Based Rehab By Norman Sinclair
The Detroit News December 06, 2005
In a lawsuit filed on his behalf by the civil rights group, a 23-year-old Catholic man from Genesee County is asking a federal judge to set aside a drug conviction, saying he was punished for not completing a Pentecostal rehabilitation program. Joseph Hanas was 19 when he pleaded guilty to a marijuana possession charge in February 2001 in Genesee Circuit Court and was placed in a diversion program for young, non-violent offenders.

Pope Prescribed Medical Marijuana by Scott Borchert (satire)
Papal officials have expressed concern over a choice made by doctors in Gemelli Hospital to prescribe medical marijuana to the Pope for the pain caused by the successful tracheotomy performed on him today in order to ease his breathing. continued

1810 Pope Leo XIII (d. 1903). awarded a gold medal to a fashionable 19th-Century cocaine-laced wine called Vin Mariani, the drink that inspired Coca-Cola. The dangers of cocaine being unknown, Vin Mariani was also praised and used by many doctors and scientists as well as Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, Pope Pius X, and USA presidents Ulysses S Grant and William McKinley. Endorsements for the tonic beverage were given by Thomas Alva Edison, Émile Zola, Alexandre Dumas, père, Henrik Ibsen, Frédéric Bartholdi and Jules Verne, among others.

The studies I've seen say that alcohol . . . contributes to violent and aggressive behavior. The simple thing is to let people make the safer choice to use marijuana, which doesn't contribute to violent behavior."

im going to cum so hard the day you all shit your pants over the truth...its going to make me fall into a ball of laughter....

Canuck Wisdom · 11-24-2008, 10:38 AM

If there is actually going to be some sort of Revelation type events... so be it. I take the Revelation in a number of ways, but most importantly is the idea that the moment of judgement, when your actions are really counted and full conscious light is shined upon your deeds, could come at any time. So we should always be on our game.

yeah thats all fine and dandy but when they start doing demonic burials for the pope thats belived to be comming back from the dead as a demon....

well its got my attention....

I like what Bill Maher said about religions with apocalyptic leanings:
"If there's one thing I hate more than prophecy, it's self-fulfilling prophecy!"

^good one

I can't believe this is still being taken out of context?

He wasn't bragging, he was making an observation that kids were more interested in the Beatles than Jesus. The statement was off the top of his head, if he had thought about it for awhile I'm sure he would not have used Beatles but something else that was popular at the time.

He was just trying to comment on his observation that interest in religion was declining. It concerned him.

How does the Pope feel about the tune "LET'S DO IT IN THE ROAD"?

I'm glad the Vatican is commemorating something positive (Charles Manson's use of it notwithstanding) I just question if they bothered to read the lyrics.
