The Vatican has forgiven the Beatles for their "satanic" messsages and claims of being bigger than Jesus. The Guardianreports that they Vatican's official newspaper even praised the Beatles for their music.
At a time when they surely have bigger things to think about, the Vatican's official newspaper has published a glowing appraisal of the Beatles, calling their music "beautiful" and dismissing their years of drug use and excessive living. On the front page of the L'Osservatore Romano, the paper admits that the band once "said they were bigger than Jesus and put out mysterious messages, that were possibly even Satanic", but also asks: "what would pop music have been like without the Beatles?"
