Not before Cardinal DooWah.

Trust me, my son.

Cardinal: Not before Cardinal DooWah.

Trust me, my son.

You owe me a new keyboard.

I don't know about more popular, but more women wanted to have sex with the Beatles than with Jesus, that's for sure. Maybe that's what he meant.

Perhaps if the Vatican wants to shake off the "stuffy" label, it should maybe not have an elderly man bedecked in ornate finery sitting on a gilded throne in the middle of a palace as its leader.

What about these guys?

Well Jesus was only on Sullivan once. And there were four Beatles. I think your comparison is unfair.

As for "stuffy", it's the newspaper attempting to change it's image, not the Vatican.

FWIW, the Vatican has never condemned the Beatles, so there is no need for "forgiveness".

Still haven't forgiven me for voting for Obama, though.

All Obama voters should to to confession and ask forgiveness.

to to? What kind of name for a dog is that?

They'll never forgive Creed.

I doubt Pappa Diddy is gonna get to be a Cardinal. Kanye West is a more likely pick.

The Beatles were bigger than Jesus, among teenagers, in 1964.

lobbied tirelessly for it.

Times have changed:

Next up: Cardinal Diddy

Next up: MC 151 Psalms and the Jewy Jews

He didn't say they were bigger than God, he said they were bigger than "Rod".

/Obscure?

Well that's good for the Vatican to finally reach that realization, considering that if anything, Lennon's statement was more a defense of religion's value and a critique of a society more interested in a rock group than spirituality.

That quote is one of the most taken-out-of-context statements of all-time, up there with Al Gore's "invented the internet" shiat.

It's a drag that this came about, as it allowed Paul McCartney to take control of the band. That didn't need to happen.

If he were groping alter boys they would have forgiven him years ago.

So apparently the kiddy-diddling priests have all been removed/arrested/killed and the problem is over.

/Catholicism WOW!
