Thread Name: Vatican makes peace with Beatles
Subject: RE: Vatican makes peace with Beatles
it's a matter of perspective.

For me, John Lennon is bigger than Jesus. That is because I am in awe of his music and his positive effect on society.

Now, the concept of Jesus is used to good end by many good people, but I cannot get excited about Jesus as he was possibly an abstraction or amalgam of reputations of many political agitators. if you take away the impossible nonsense about defying laws of physics, then any real person called Jesus may have had a few good ideas, but I bet he didn't strum a mean guitar and write wonderful songs full of irony....

I also reckon his disdain of the Catholic church would have been at least as strong as Lennons.

I am glad the Vatican have made peace. As there are many Catholics in Liverpool, it was rather silly not to. After all, they need all the members they can get right now.

Above us only sky.
