Vatican Forgives John Lennon
L'Osservatore Romano, the semi-official Vatican newspaper marked the 40th anniversary of The Beatles' "White Album" with an article forgiving the late English singer John Lennon for saying four decades ago that The Beatles were more popular than Jesus and praising Lennon and the Fab Four from Liverpool.
Lennon told a British newspaper in 1966 - at the height of Beatlemania - that he did not know which would die out first, Christianity or rock and roll.
At the time, the comparison sparked controversy in the U.S. as radio stations banned their music and concerts were cancelled.
