I read on teletext yesterday that the Vatican has declared/denounced pop, rock and even opera music as a deviance of the Cristian faith, or something like that. It seems that gathering in large crowds to listen to music is considered a kind of unholy mass. What do you think it? I wonder will there be religious fanatics protesting outside record stores...

sounds like something they would say in the middle ages.

I highly doubt that, considering the numerous youth conference/get-together/meeting/"let's all sing kunbayaa!" thingies they hold every year.

lolololololololololol:D

This, for some very odd reason, reminded me of this topic:

And I can't say I've ever "Laughed out loud out loud out loud out loud..." ad nauseum.

whoa :eek: i can understand "rock" but "opera"? what the...

u should try it sometime... it's fun:D

<====== 400 posts!!! Yay me!

Doctor Faustus, most likely.

I guess that anything revolving around the concept of pleasure could be labelled as a deviance of the Cristian
faith This includes sex, music and Winamp :p

I just gotta say that thousands amassing outside the friggin Pope's window is just as pompous as thousands attending an Ozzy concert.
What's he think he's God?

I'd rather say the president of God's fan-club

Practically every major decision the Catholic church has ever done has been wrong and dominative, therefore nothing can surprise me with their dictatorship-like ruling anymore.

Man, I could go on and on and on and on about this topic but I guess I'll just stop it here before it gets out of hand (and all christians, no offense).

You mean, all the catholics =P


<====== heh didn't notice my number of posts until now.

i dont agree with all the ideas and stuff but luckily, this is america. we are very far from the vatican:D so things go on as normail and the vatican dont need to know.

like, your parents probably wont know your having sex unless they walk in on you:D:D:D (something like that)

I take it you are not Catholic then.

Satan Appears in the Vatican; the pope responds "Oh my God!"
 

A lot of classic opera is in fact christian in nature; for instance Handel's Messiah, Solomon... most anything Bach wrote was christian related...

I'm think they are confusing opera with modern theatre - what with scandalous "modern" storylines like "Rent"...

(I think the Pope should excommunicate Niel Patrick Harris just because it would be funny ;) )

I remember that thing, askjesus.org which RM mentioned once.
It was so funny :D
