Came across this from the New York Post.

The basic headline was Mission accomplished: Vatican blesses Blues Brothers

The Blues Brothers movie was a “Catholic classic” alongside more pious films such as “The Ten Commandments” and “The Passion of the Christ.”

Heh, thought about posting it myself earlier today but lately everything I’ve posted seems to already be posted by someone else under a different topic name.

I remember back in the day this movie was frowned upon by the church. Now it’s regaled in a place of honor. That rocks.
