Vatican: Beatles music better than today's songs
Sun Nov 23, 2008 VATICAN CITY

Vatican media are praising the Beatles' musical legacy and sounding philosophical about John Lennon's boast that the British band was more popular than Jesus.

Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano recalls that Lennon's comment outraged many when he made it in 1966.

But it says in its Saturday edition that the remark can be written off now as the bragging of a young man wrestling with unexpected success.

The newspaper as well as Vatican Radio last week noted the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' "White Album."

It said the album demonstrated how creative the Beatles were, compared with what it called the "standardized, stereotypical" songs being produced today.



What do you think of the Vatican celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the "White Album"?

The Tree of Life

Neither the trappings of robes, nor temples of stone, nor a fixed liturgy, nor an extensive literature or history is required to meet the test of beliefs cognizable under the Constitution as religious. So far as our law is concerned, one person's religious beliefs held for one day are presumptively entitled to the same protection as the beliefs of millions which have been shared for thousands of years.

ACLU Sues Over Faith-Based Rehab By Norman Sinclair
The Detroit News December 06, 2005
In a lawsuit filed on his behalf by the civil rights group, a 23-year-old Catholic man from Genesee County is asking a federal judge to set aside a drug conviction, saying he was punished for not completing a Pentecostal rehabilitation program. Joseph Hanas was 19 when he pleaded guilty to a marijuana possession charge in February 2001 in Genesee Circuit Court and was placed in a diversion program for young, non-violent offenders.

1810 Pope Leo XIII (d. 1903). awarded a gold medal to a fashionable 19th-Century cocaine-laced wine called Vin Mariani, the drink that inspired Coca-Cola. The dangers of cocaine being unknown, Vin Mariani was also praised and used by many doctors and scientists as well as Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, Pope Pius X, and USA presidents Ulysses S Grant and William McKinley. Endorsements for the tonic beverage were given by Thomas Alva Edison, Émile Zola, Alexandre Dumas, père, Henrik Ibsen, Frédéric Bartholdi and Jules Verne, among others.

"There's been this growing trend of alcohol-related air rage, episodes of drunken passengers creating in-flight disturbances.

The studies I've seen say that alcohol . . . contributes to violent and aggressive behavior. The simple thing is to let people make the safer choice to use marijuana, which doesn't contribute to violent behavior."
