Today is the 40th anniversary of the release of my favorite Beatles album, the White Album. The Vatican took to the opportunity to forgive John Lennon, a man who has been dead for 28 years.

The sin that had to be forgiven in the first place?

“Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I do not know what will go first, rock ‘n’ roll or Christianity…We’re more popular than Jesus now.”

No word on when they’ll forgive him for “Imagine” or “God”.
