The Vatican And The Beatles
Vatican had openly excused John Lennon for his phrase were he was comparing The Beatles to Jesus by saying that the band is actually more famous. This information is now available at the L’Osservatore Romano webiste – the official Catholic newspaper. Back in 1966 Lennon gave an interview to one of the London’s newspapers saying that, “Christianity will disappear. It shall shrink and go away. We are more popular than Jesus”. “Back than this phrase began to spread a lot of angry talks, but today it sounds like a joke said by a young man who stepped his game up from the working class to the greatest fame of all times”, noted L’Osservatore Romano. According to the Church the real talent behind The Beatles stands in their specific ability to write popular songs which contain happiness and euphoria. In contrast, today popular music is standardised, full of stereotypes and totally lacks what The Beatles were doing. It seems quite true, modern music is the repitition of the same stuff again and again. Since the 90’s there is almost nothing new. Styles are the same, lyrics are the same and of course music videos are the same. Modern times need modern Beatles.
