On the 30th anniversary of the film's release, "L'Osservatore Romano," the Vatican's official newspaper, called the film a "Catholic classic" and said it should be recommended viewing for Catholics everywhere.

Favorite quote/scene: "The new Oldsmobiles are in early this year."

Is Father Guido Sarducci still working at "L'Osservatore Romano?

Of course the Vatican condemned “The Blues Brothers 2000” to the deepest regions of Hell.

Time was when the Catholic Legion of Decency used to put out a list of films you should NOT go to see.

For the record, L'Osservatore Romano is no more synonymous with "the Vatican" than Stars and Stripes is synonymous with the U.S. Army.

Great movie. I seem to recall watching it last time with my internal “parent filter” enabled, seeing if it would be appropriate for the kids. I think I determined it wasn’t, based on language. I’m thinking f-bombs here.

Anyone recall harsh language in the film?
