The Vatican Calls A Truce With The Beatles

Proving that the Catholic Church has nothing absolutely nothing larger or more serious to worry about, nope, absolutely nothing at all, the Vatican has announced that they have “finally made peace with the Beatles,” according to the Associated Press. 40 years after the seminal pop band’s breakup, Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano offered a tribute to John, Paul, George in Ringo in their latest weekend edition, while also forgiving the Fab Four’s occasional misdeeds, which was something the collective pop world has been waiting for with bated breath and agonizing anticipation for nearly a half century.  Right?

From L’Osservatore Romano:

“It’s true, they took drugs; swept up by their success, they lived dissolute and uninhibited lives… They even said they were more famous than Jesus… But, listening to their songs, all of this seems distant and meaningless.  Their beautiful melodies, which changed forever pop music and still give us emotions, live on like precious jewels.”

This announcement comes just one month after the Vatican placed the Beatles’ Revolver on its list of top ten albums.

Now that the whole Beatles thing is out of the way, hopes are high that the Vatican will next publicly announce that they will also make peace with that time Peter Frampton went swimming right after lunch without waiting the standard thirty minutes, as well as that one day when Al Green got two separate speeding tickets.  Nope, they’ve got nothing better to worry about or try to repair, nope, nothing to see here at all, folks.

What do you think of the Vatican’s belated forgiveness of the Fab Four?
