Forgive And Forget

The Beatles fell out of the Vatican's good graces in the 1960s when John Lennon announced the band was more popular than Jesus. The Church forgave the Fab Four last weekend. On the 40th, anniversary of the band's breakup, the Vatican's newspaper said the beauty of the Beatles' music is eternal.

40 years in purgatory for a non-believer mouthing off... Considerably less for pedophile rapists within the clergy club.

For years, the Catholic Church has quietly sent priests accused of sexual transgressions to psychiatric centers, many affiliated with the church. Dr. Leslie Lothstein, who has treated more than 300 priests, tells NPR he saw some sex offenders sent "right back to working in youth ministries."
