4o years ago, exactly in 1966, John Lennon declared that The Beatles were more famous than Jesus Chirst, which was like a kick in the teeth for most of the Christian world.
Some days ago, unfortunately too late for John Lennon, the Vatican absolved him.
When John Lennon said that in 1966, a lot of people felt insulted by his words and reprisals were taken against the four fab. Thousands of young Americans burnt their Beatles records when the fuss broke and an 'anti- beatles' feeling was spread around the USA. The Vatican itself needed more than 40 years to let it pass.
Nowadays, we would laugh at such remark, or at least, such a big mess wouldn't have been caused, or that is what I think. Maybe it was true that the Beatles were more famous than Christ or maybe it was just the excited imagination of a young boy who was dazzled fy fame and success, but the thing is that it wasn't such a bad remark to say and the actions taken were just excessive. I hope not to be condemned!
