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.
