The official Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, has called the 1980 film, the Blues Brothers, ‘a “Catholic classic” and said it should be recommended viewing for Catholics everywhere.’

Starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as two blues musicians ‘on a mission from God’ to save the Catholic orphanage from which they were raised, the Blues Brothers really has no Catholic values to impart.

Blame it on Vatican II, along with the rest of society’s degradation.
