The Vatican has settled its argument with The Beatles, more than 40 years after John Lennon's infamous declaration that the band were “bigger than Jesus”.
An edition of the Vatican's official newspaper has just praised the Fab Four, saying Lennon's boast “wasn't that scandalous”.
The newspaper used the 40th anniversary of the break-up of the English icons to make the statement.
Lennon's 1966 comment outraged Catholics around the world.
But the newspaper said the “band's drug use, dissolute lives and Lennon's comment are all in the past while their music lives on”.
I know the law. And I have spent my entire life in its flagrant disregard.
