JOHN LENNON IS FORGIVEN

A Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, has issued a posthumous pardon to John Lennon for his offensive declaration forty years ago that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus. 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.” If you can’t process that, they’re basically saying that you say stupid things when you’re young. The iconic musician must feel so relieved that the Pope’s people are cool with him again. But then again, he could probably care less.
