This is pretty funny, but it may need some background.
There's a method of interpreting the Bible used by a lot of modern scholars that claims to be able to know what the Bible means simply by looking at what is in the biblical text, in the history of that time, and what they find in other literature written about the same time as the Bible. They then publish large and numerous books of their findings called "the assured results of
critical scholarship." Needless to say, they don't take into consideration what the Church has always taught about what the Scriptures say, which is often in conflict with their own findings. This would be merely interesting if it were not the scholarly view that dominates most college and university Scripture programs, as well as most diocesan and parish based Bible studies. It is also the view that is reflected in the footnotes of the translation of the Bible that is most used by American Catholics. This view invaribly leads to a dry, skeptical impression of the Bible by the average Catholic, which in turn also leads to people giving up on studying the Scriptures completely. I've see it happen again and again.
Anyway,
this video is a humorous look at what scholars studying the Beatles, using this same type of scholarship, might say about them 1000 years from now (please ignore the usual vulgar You-Tube com-box comments attached to this video. It is a great shortcoming of the internet that any potty-mouthed adolescent has an easy, anonymous forum for inane attention seeking).
I just found a great new reference tool for the Catechism of the Catholic Church tied into the Scriptural Reference appendix. With it, you can type in a scripture citation (say, John 3:16), and it will show you the entire section or sections of the CCC that they occur.
