Yawn........
If you believe anything Rolling Stone tells you, i think you may need help.
Even if you are Christian or non Christian, the Pope is a symbol of peace, i'd rather follow him than the likes of Tony Blair or George W. Bush.

Oh yeah pope, "all god's people" is just the devils anthem! and let's not forget "is this the world we created..." my goodness, that's really evil, I can't stand this evilness, I think I will have to spray my Queen CD's with holy water!
If he had mentioned Marylon Manson or Slipknot, I maybey would agree with him, but Queen and the eagels???!!!! I think the question should be "Is this the pope they elected, he doesn't know what's bad, he is screwed in the head, he's going slightly mad..." and so on

If its true what the Rollins Stone says then pope is poop
The comment was made by the pope when he was Cardinal Ratzinger, and was made many years ago. He was doing his job, merely pointing out some of the evil influences in rock & roll. And let's face it, a few of Queen's songs include lyrics that are sexually suggestive and promote promiscuity, and are therefore inconsistent with basic Christian ideology. But having personally met this pope (when he was Cardinal Ratzinger), and his predecessor Pope John Paul II, I assure you he has much bigger issues to deal with than music he may find offensive.
Although I am non-Catholic, and yet a devout Christian, I suggest you cut the pope some slack. The Christian world recognizes the pope as a symbol of peace and as the face of the Christian world, which has more than a billion believers/followers. (Significantly larger than Queen's fan-base, I might add.) In his role, the pope has a responsibility to communicate messages which he believes will improve the world rather than let it degenerate into abasement or into terminal warfare. And he's far from irrelevant. Who do you want to lead the world in providing moral and spiritual guidance? Britney Spears? Mick Jagger? Michael Jackson??
As we enter the Christmas holiday, let's work toward peace on earth rather than badmouthing and denigrating those who may not be Queen fans.
And may the music of Queen continue to elevate our souls and fill us with love.
Merry Christmas to all.

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME] [/QUOTENAME]POPE BENDICT SPEAKS OUT AGAINST ROCK AND CITES QUEEN AS EXAMPLES
[/QUOTE]
wellllll first off-
the Pope was a Nazi so well that speaks for itself..
second off-
im not Catholic or religous and whomever believes that, even the insanely religous people they are just ssoo ignorant and that is not wise. The world is very differing (couldnt find a good word for that) and thats what makes it great and rock and roll is one of those things that really means a lot to me and a lot of people and if he cant see that he should kill all of the rock and roll artists or put them into concentration camps, thatll solve the problem- it worked so well before didnt it?

First off, Rolling Stone magazine belongs in the trash. Secondly, I have no idea how this has any bearing on anything. But then again, this is totally consistent with everything Rolling Stone has ever done.

spiritual guidance,ok...but intervening with personal tastes it's another thing,where we can't think and have our OWN opinions
well if he sayd that it's better to chance my PERSONAL tastes about music... or not!
if anyone tells me not to listen to this or that artist,especially music jornalists,and including the pope,it enters in the left ear at 50mph and goes out in the right ear at 300mph

"Is This the World We Created?" is an exceptionally evil song. ;)

He may not have been a nazi but he just turned a blind eye to the whole death camp, toxic baths, starvation, torture thing that went on. I heard the nazi's let him study his theology and didn't force him to be involved and I heard he kept watch or something to that extent. I don't knpow which one is true but in fairness I'll just assume he didn't participate.

I guess that everyone is smart enough to know what the entertainment is about and what one does in his life :)
and it is another example,in my opinion,how journalists got nothing better to do and use old statements.
I guess I'm gonna follow Roger and stop buying newspapers :)

Oh that's right, as a young child/man (i think he was approx. 12 when the war started) he could stop the Nazi's! And he was part of the Nazi Youth's because it was law, if he or his parents resisted there would have been serious trouble, aren't you aware a lot of Germans lived in fear under Nazi rule?

It seems you quite like the Pope, i have nothing against him, only the great harm he and the Vatican are doing to veru catholic undeveloped countries such as Kenia an Phlipines with their stupid theories on condoms and birth issues.
God, they are making children die and people get infected with terrible diseases.
As for the comments on Queen as evil....LOL, I just don't give a damn.

It's not about liking the Pope it's just that for some reason, people like to bash the Pope and see him somewhat responsible for some of the unjust things happening around this world that are beyond his reach. People even believe petty lies about a person who is a symbol of peace, which to me makes no sense.
Surely there are other, more sensible things to criticise than a person who wants us all to love and make peace.
