Vatican makes peace with the Beatles

VATICAN CITY (AP) - The Vatican has finally made assent with a Beatles, saying their drug use, "dissolute" lives as well as even a claim which a rope was bigger than Jesus are all in a past - whilst their song lives on.

Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano paid tribute to a Fab Four in a week end editions, with two articles as well as a front-page animation reproducing a crosswalk immortalized upon a cover of a band's album "Abbey Road."

The tribute marked a 40th anniversary of a band's breakup.

"It's true, they took drugs; swept up by their success, they lived dissolute as well as uninhibited lives," pronounced a paper. "They even pronounced they were some-more important than Jesus," it said, recalling John Lennon's 1966 criticism which angry many Catholics as well as others.

"But, listening to their songs, all of this seems distant as well as meaningless," L'Osservatore said. "Their pleasing melodies, which changed forever pop song as well as still give us emotions, live upon similar to precious jewels."

It is not a first time a Vatican has praised a legendary rope from Liverpool.

Two years ago, Vatican media hailed a Beatles' low-pitched bequest upon a 40th anniversary of a "White Album." And last month a Vatican paper included "Revolver" in a semiserious list of top-10 albums.

Now, L'Osservatore says which a Beatles' songs have stood a test of time, as well as which a rope remains "the longest-lasting, many unchanging as well as deputy phenomenon in a story of pop music."

Giovanni Maria Vian, a editor in arch of L'Osservatore Romano, pronounced Monday which he loves a Beatles.

He pronounced which at a time of Lennon's sensational statement, Osservatore "commented which in reality it wasn't which scandalous, because a fascination with Jesus was so great which it attracted these brand new heroes of a time."
