The Pope and the hit parade

John, Paul, George, Ringo — and John Paul II

10 November 2007

A musical DVD starring John Paul II is released this month

Coming to a music store near you: Santo Subito!, the first ever papal music DVD. Featuring the late John Paul II, it is to be launched in Britain by Universal — better known for Amy Winehouse and the Sugababes — on 19 November. By Christmas, if the prayers of the PR people are answered, it will be a worldwide number one hit.

Santo Subito! (‘sainthood immediately!’) is what crowds outside the Vatican traditionally chant when they want someone canonised without delay. Anyone who watched John Paul II’s funeral will remember the numerous banners in the crowds displaying the slogan.

Christmas would not be the same without Pope John Paul II: The Musical. Put me down for one copy of the DVD!
