Vatican Forgives John Lennon For Jesus Remark

VATICAN CITY - 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 announcement marks the 40th anniversary of the release of the White Album.

The two parties had been feuding since 1966, when the comment was made during an interview. The feud was believed to have ended in 1980, because John Lennon died, but that rumor, and the feud, was put to rest today.

The Vatican went on to say, "We realize that our timing is a bit off, but we were just so damn mad. Nobody is more popular than J. Chrizzle, then or now. He [Lennon] overstepped his bounds. We are just pleased to be able to put this behind us once and for all."

As a show of grace, the services tomorrow will conclude with a performance of Helter Skelter.

Moved by the spirit of generosity, Lennon was also granted a pardon by this guy:
