This story has been bugging me all day.
The Beatles never said anything sinful to begin with. They made an observation that rang true. Saying the comment could be "written off" is not some kind of sacramental absolution, which is what some are casting it as. I wish the media would stop making up such goofy news articles.
The Osservatore Romano is not "The Vatican". That's like saying "The CBC" is "The Government of Canada".
And the Pope does not like Rock n Roll, although some of the Beatles songs have a Catholic feel to them, like Let it Be.
