In 1996, Pope Benedict, then Cardinal Ratzinger , branded rock music an “instrument of the Devil” and urged young people not to listen to it for fear of endangering their souls.
Pope Benedict, then head of the modern successor to the Inquisition, said there were “diabolical and satanic messages” in much of today’s heavy metal music. But he also warned the young against the “subliminal” satanic influence to be found in songs by such groups as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zeppelin and the Eagles.
I decided to play Peaceful Easy Feeling by the Eagles backwards to find out.
You can imagine how upset I was when I heard the words, repeated over and over in the chorus, “Lactate into my hubcap Sir Jeffrey”.
Isn’t it time we listened to the Church and stopped this filth being sold to our children?

Can we just stop you?
I’ll never forget waiting in line for a Metallica concert and 2 rabid Christians were out front protesting them as satanic music… I assumed they knew nothing about their music or the musicians themselves, because during the concert Metallica actually said “God bless you friends.” multiple times. Too bad those protesters weren’t inside to hear it.
Ignorance leads to fear and hatred, and hiding inside a church breeds ignorance for many people.

Don’t be silly, have you listened to current praise and worship music?
@
Do we really care what an old guy in a dress has to say????

The lyrics, the speed of the music, and the look of their music is not good for any kind of uplifting or teach good things.
Rock music promotes anger, rebellion, and bad attitudes. i should know I was there. Nobody can deny it.
@
I have an idea.
Color my eyes black, plug my ears, glue my nose, and handicap my brain

Actually, its kind of funny
LOL
@

@
lol haha i dont know if you are serious or just being funny but i missed you here 🙂

People have been saying this about rock music since 1955. ” Our children” who listened to it back then are in their 60’s. I think we all turned out OK being raised on rock.

um ok your reading way to much into someone elses personal censorship of the music buis. it’s all fine and good that you don listen to it. someone tried to do what you are attempting to do and her name was Tipper Gore, and well that history.
Why stop at Rock and Roll, and Heavy Metal, what about Country and all the bad lyrics in those songs. WELL.
it really gets to me when people can’t get it into their heads that they need medication or forget to take them.
and by the way for the record Queen played at Live Aide (if i’m right) which helped with hunger in Africa.
and not all music is bad, Megadeath’s count down to extinction is just that bringing out the idea of animals becoming extinct from the hunt.
Metalica’s One is one of the most recoginzed Anti-war songs out there.
Queens We will rock you, and we are the champions are two the most played songs at sporting events.
Iron Maidens Rhyme of the ancient marrenier, brought a generation of people to realize there are some really dam good short stories out there.
Before you guys start reading to much into music take a look at the history of your religion. it aint that clean you were once call a CULT, the only difference right now is the amount of people that “believe” in the B.S.
one more tidbit of info Mr. James Hetfield “lead singer of Metalica” was born and raise Strict Catholic mother refused to let him learn about the human body in school, because God would take care of you. SO THERE BIBLE THUMPPER

hmmm . . . I believe lactating into a hubcap is a miracle that would qualify Sir Jeffrey for sainthood.
