Vatican marks Beatle-fication

VATICAN CITY — The Vatican has finally made peace with the Beatles.

The Vatican newspaper says the Beatles’ “dissolute” lives and John Lennon’s boastful claim that the band was more popular than Jesus are in the past. Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano paid tribute to the group in its weekend editions, with two articles and a front-page cartoon reproducing the album cover of “Abbey Road.”
