"Staglianò actually stated, “Let’s abolish religion, let’s abolish God, let’s abolish heaven. Who says that? John Lennon, in the most beautiful song in the world, Imagine.'”
. . . "Staglianò actually stated, “Let’s abolish religion, let’s abolish God, let’s abolish heaven. Who says that? John Lennon, in the most beautiful song in the world, Imagine.”
"The bishop made his remarks in the context of asserting that no religion — and therefore no concept, idea, or principle — should be worth killing or dying for.
"Per lifesitenews.com, he concluded his remarks by stating his own interpretation of the Gospel:
“I too, like John Lennon,” Staglianò continued, “do not want a religion for which I must kill or die, I do not want a heaven for which I must kill or die, I do not want a God for whom I must kill or die. And don’t worry – this was said, before John Lennon, two thousand years ago by Jesus of Nazareth.”
Staglianò concluded by stating his interpretation of the Gospel: “Standing before the High Priest, Jesus said: Get it out of your head that my Abba, my God, my Father killed the firstborn sons of Egypt or the charioteers and horses of the Egyptian army, or that He ordered Saul to put prisoners to the sword… Get it out of your head, because my Abba is always and only love. With my Abba you can only make peace, reconciliation, and forgiveness.”
"A Catholic bishop, president of the Pontifical Academy of Theology, touting a song whose lyrics read “Imagine there’s no heaven” as the most beautiful in the world seems to me to be a tad heretical. I mean, Jesus dying on the cross and being resurrected so that our sins might be expunged and we might have a chance at eternal life probably infers the existence of a heaven, no?'" . . .
"The third verse of Lennon’s Opus begins, “Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can.”
Well, the citizens of New York City under Zohran Mamdani may soon find out. They will own nothing and like it! Yay, communism! Am I right?!
Imagine that there is no heaven, above us only sky. Imagine a Catholic bishop thinking that is a beautiful thing. Imagine that. Sadly, we don’t have to." . . .
John Lennon's 'Imagine' Rereleased With More Realistic Description Of Communism | Babylon Bee (Parody)
 |
"UK - Have you ever tried to imagine living in a perfect world ruled by communism, but previously only received the information from catchy folk songs which praise the system? Well, lucky for you, it is now easier than ever to understand what a full-blown communist utopia actually looks like.
That's because John Lennon's commie classic "Imagine" has been rereleased with more realistic lyrics to reflect the harsh realities of communism. Lennon, long dead---though not by way of communism, since he was blessed to live in a capitalist country---would be proud of the change, due to its artistic value in realism.
While the classic folk song does do a fantastic job of laying out the basics of communism---no religion, no possessions, no food---it never invites the listener to imagine all the people in their true form, which is dead---usually by firing squad, but often by way of starvation as well.
"John Lennon wrote this once-beautiful song way back in the seventies," a communist music snob told us. "However, in the years since, we have found out that what communism actually was, was basically a non-stop killing machine. It was beautiful, really. May have saved the planet. So that's why they changed the lyrics. To make it more realistic."
So now, with the updated lyrics, we can collectively "imagine all the people, sharing all the world," dead. And what better way to share the world than in a mass grave?
The full lyrics are reproduced below." . . . More...
