Well, if Star Wars and Harry Potter can be Christian allegories…

I guess The Blues Brothers offers plenty of opportunity for redemption, anyway:

To mark this week’s 30th anniversary of the film, which became a cult classic and spawned a fashion of wearing black hats and dark sunglasses to parties, the Vatican newspaper dedicated a full page and no fewer than five articles to it.

One of the articles says there is “no lack of evidence” that The Blues Brothers can be considered “a Catholic film.”

In the words of the Reverend Cleophus James, can I get an Amen.
