Something about thinking about the pope watching
The Blues Brothers is almost as funny as the movie.
When Jake and Elwood Blues, the protagonists in John Landis' cult classic "The Blues Brothers," claimed they were on a mission from God, the Catholic Church apparently took them at their word.
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.
Maybe they didn't watch the whole movie. Just because "they're on a mission from God" doesn't really make it "godly" movie.
