Believe it or not, Morrissey has made the front page of “The War Cry”, the newspaper sold by the Salvation Army: supposedly Britain's most popular Christian Weekly. The accompanying picture gives the flavour. The article actually doesn’t say much about Mozzer: you can read the full text here.
It starts “MACCA and Mozza, the Scissor Sisters and Sister Sledge, the Black Eyed Peas and Basement Jaxx are joining hundreds of other acts and 15,000 campers and visitors down on Worthy Farm, Pilton, for the Glastonbury Festival.
Names don’t come much more famous than Paul McCartney who will take to the Pyramid Stage today. Other established names to play the main stage are Morrissey, James Brown and, less predictably, ENO.
The photo that you can see is “amusingly” entitled “M and M, Morrissey and McCartney are playing the main stage”. Unfortunately Moz is just an excuse to get people to buy the paper because the above is all there actually is about him. The article is actually trying to convert you to Christianity – it finishes (in bold type) “God offers everlasting life to us. Will we give him a listen”. The Word on the streets is that Moz has forgiven Jesus for using his name and image to sell this newspaper.

They misrepresent Jesus all the time, I can't belive they didn't take the opportunity to misrepresent Morrissey as well. Perhaps they like him more than Jesus.
If, as 2-J suggests, they were just trying to sell their religion, then I guess they really do think Morrissey can sell better than Jesus. What kind of faith is that?
