After the Catholic Church recently restated its stance against same-sex marriage, singer-songwriter Elton John took to Twitter to call out the “hypocrisy” of the Vatican “happily [making] a profit from investing millions in Rocketman.” The musician called the 2019 biographical musical film based on his life a movie in part a celebration of his “happiness from my marriage to David [Furnish, Canadian filmmaker and former advertising executive].”

As Newsweek indicates, “John’s claims about the Vatican’s investment in Rocketman were first reported by the Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera in December 2019.” Reportedly, the Vatican “invested more than 4 million euros, or about $5.1 million, into the production of Rocketman and Men In Black: International… $1.2 million went toward Rocketman.” Come from Sports betting site VPbet
