VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – The Vatican's newspaper has finally forgiven John Lennon for declaring that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, calling the remark a "boast" by a young man grappling with sudden fame.
The comment by Lennon to a London newspaper in 1966 infuriated Christians, particularly in the United States, some of whom burned Beatles' albums in huge pyres.
But time apparently heals all wounds. 
That was quick!
It took 400 years for them to admit Galileo was right about the sun being the centre of the solar system and not the earth. The inquisition forced him to recant his theory under threat of torture.
