Blues Brothers is a "Catholic Classic"

The 1980 cult classic film Blues Brothers has been declared by the Vatican as a "Catholic Classic."

In the film, the two brothers become inspired by God to raise money for their Catholic orphanage, run by a "Penguin." While trying to earn this money, they get shot at by Princess Leia multiple times, and knock a crowd of American Nazis of a bridge.

No wonder the Pope likes it so much!

It will join films such as:

• The Godfather
• The Passion of Christ
• and the Sound of Music
  

An official speaking for the Vatican explained why they honured the movie with this title - “Of course it’s Catholic. It’s two guys saving a Catholic orphanage and being chased by a bunch of Nazis. What could be more Catholic than that? It’s just a different kind of Catholic than ‘The Passion’.”

Hmm...
