I thought we were all over this "rock is a tool of Satan"

But apparently Pope Benedict XVI believes otherwise. He has criticized John Paul II for deciding to appear with Bob Dylan in 1997 at one of those "youth events" John Paul was always doing. Benedict believes rock music is the work of Satan and canceled the annual Christmas pop concert at The Vatican last year. Benedict has a new book _John Paul II, My Beloved Predecessor_, and he says, "There was a reason to be skeptical and I was. Indeed in a certain sense I still am today. I have doubts to this day whether it was right to let this kind of so-called prophet take the stage (in front of John Paul II)."

Ah, religion.
