Thank you, Vatican.

During a brief bout of pointless browsing, going through random digg articles, reading useless comments and looking at pictures of cats, I came across this gem:

Apparently, back in November, the Vatican officially forgave John Lennon for his “We’re more popular than Jesus now” remark to a British newspaper back in 1966!

The thoughts that went through my mind:

1. thank you Vatican, it’s such a relief that the millions of Lennon fans can now go on living without the fear of going to hell for admiring a genius’ oeuvre.

2. Lennon himself is probably finally resting in peace.

3. “Imagine” vs. an invisible being: Guess which of the two never fails to give me goose bumps.

4. “Give peace a chance” vs. your pro-AIDS, anti-condoms attitude: guess which of the two makes me believe a little more in humanity.

Cheers.
