A touching report from the BBC's David Willey about John lennon being - quotes - 'forgiven' by the Vatican for his remarks about the Beatles being bigger than Jesus. At the time in 1966 radio stations banned their music and concerts were cancelled . Now Osservatore Romano praises the group and says it was just "showing off,bragging by a young English working-class musician who had grown up in the age of Elvis Presley and rock and roll and had enjoyed unexpected success" So that's the Catholic forgiveness then. Stand by for the various Protestant groupings...
