It's especially unsettling when the news that makes one exclaim "Huh?" revolves around the Vatican. A recent example is a selection from the "Vatican's MySpace playlist" which includes at least one controversial tune. The song in question is by rapper Tupac Shakur entitled "Changes". It is said to "describe Shakur's desire to change a grim life of drugs, crime and violence on the streets." The rapper, who was gunned down in a drive-by shooting, had spent time in prison for s*xual assault. The song itself, which is labeled as "explicit", includes the following lyrics...
* "Is life worth living, should I blast myself?"
* "Give the crack to the kids, who the hell cares, one less hungry mouth on the welfare"
* "Cause more black and white is smokin' crack tonight"
But don't blame the Pope. News reports say the list was complied by Father Giulio Neroni, the "artistic director of church publisher St Paul's Multimedia."
Isn't it heartbreaking that good parents may need to make a point of cautioning their children about the Vatican's online presence?
