The new pope says "no" to rock music

[hfojvt]

:wtf:

That is just wrong: "God gave rock and roll to you, put it in the soul of everyone."

What does U2 think about that? Are there any Catholic rockers? What about Eddie Money?

[WindRavenX]

1. Man..this is sure a sea change that I don't like

The old Pope embraced the youth and culture- I mean, he allowed BREAK DANCERS to perform for him and PRAISED them.
Man alive, I'm bummed about this :(

[Lucky Luciano]

2. Boy this pope sure is old

dDoesn't he know that rock has been all but replaced with electronica, rap, and hip-hop? I would not mind seeing the last two disappear though.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

6. Excuse me?????

Rock and roll will NEVER die!

However, the new "Pope" will, in hopefully a VERY short time...

[BurtWorm]

9. Maybe the Pope is saying that, as paganism was to the early church

rock is to trip hop.

[maveric]

16. He's really into Wagner I hear.

:evilgrin:

[The Donkey]

3. Looks like this may spell the end for Stryper . . . .

They're the Devil's band now . . .

[Arugula Latte]

5. Nooooooo!

Say it ain't so!

[Texasgal]

13. *SPIT!

OMG! BUWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

That's some funny shit!

[hfojvt]

15. You cannot stop the rock

but they gave up their Christian label along time ago, didn't they? And they never were Catholics.

[crimson333]

20. no they still are, but not in the same band

[Mutley]

4. THAT made it to the list of things

New Pope wanted to talk about on his FIRST DAY??? This is going to be a boring papacy...

[hfojvt]

7. they were talking about what he has said in the past

They called him Cardinal "No"

no to women in the clergy
no to married clergy
no to gays
no to rock music

[Mutley]

11. ahhhh. that makes more sense.

[Kat45]

8. "Let there be light..."

"Sound"
"Drums"
"Guitar"
"Let there be rock"

AC/DC :bounce:

[hfojvt]

14. I understand if he says 'no' to AC/DC

after all, if God's (or good's) on the left they are stickin' to the right.
but they are still my favorite when I want to hear the sound of fake cannons. I have been thunderstruck!

[Emops]

10. What exactly did he say?

Link?

[hfojvt]

12. sorry, I am saying "no" to links

It's a new era. I got this from the announcer on the local news, so it was a summary rather than a quote.

[Robeson]

17. Is he breaking old LP's yet?

[Maestro]

18. I think I will send the Vatican

some Lamb of God, Shadows Fall, Killswitch Engage, Zao, All That Remains and Black Label Society to see what sort of reaction I get.

[Deja Q]

19. God gave us the world. Popey Pants here should not support those who

DESTROY THE WORLD in the name of "progress", aka economical gain.

Environment, the land, the life... God gave us all of it... To destroy and pillage?! To harm?! To create ozone holes, to melt polar ice caps, to create global warming by incessant misuse of irreplaceable resources? To set one man against another over a few lousy trinkets ultimately worth nothing?!

THOSE are REAL abominations. Not two grown men groping each other's good bits. Since when did two men bouncing in bed cause any problems? NEVER. Since when have mis-translated Bible quotes been the cause of problems? OFTEN. Hell, some willfully ignore the quotes they don't want and favor certain others. The Bible mentions greed and selfishness far more, FAR MORE, than homosexuality (and only MALE homosexuality, BTW) so why are the greedy allowed to continue ruining everything? They are the abominations. Not us.

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. But it's okay to support fascist genocidal dictators

and blow your "Commanding Officer" in the latrines when you're 12 years old, I'm sure.

[Liberalynn]

22. And

I just say no to the Pope.

I'd chose a rockers' words and message over his any day.

[hfojvt]

26. You mean "be excellent to each other" and "party on, dudes"

Wyld Stallyon rules!

[hippiepunk]

23. screw him

Rock n Roll forever!

[baldguy]

24. What's next? No DANCING?

[RetroLounge]

25. Well, he's already proven he's obsolete

His church is next...
