Jesus Christ Superstar is the telling of the life story of Christ set to Rock music. Why is it disrespectful when the Vatican gives it's O.K.? I would think if the Vatican approves, it ought to be alright with Catholics. After all the Passion Play performed at Easter time is the telling of Jesus's story set to music and no one complains about that.
I think that people who have problems with Superstar only have problems with Rock music and not the plot of the play which follows the Gospels pretty closely.

I don't think it is based on anything but a feeling. I did not enjoy Jesus Christ Superstar either. I guess the Vatican also approves of priests having sex with the children, but I don't.

[Paul Atreides]

I am not Catholic, so the Vatican's endorsement doesn't sway me. However, if the minister at the church which I attend was to endorse it, I would be very vocal in my disagreement. What's next? The Bible set to rap music? Country music?
