Not sure how accurate this is:

The Times report from Nov 25, 1996 said: "Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of the modern successor to the Inquisition, said there were 'diabolical and satanic messages' in much of today's heavy metal music. But he also warned the young against the 'subliminal' satanic influence to be found in songs by such groups as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zeppelin and the Eagles.

"Speaking yesterday at a Mass marking the feast of St Cecilia, the patron saint of music, Cardinal Ratzinger agreed that there were many good things in modern pop music, but added that there was also a great deal that 'endangers the human soul'. He urged heavy metal bands in particular to 'purify themselves'.

"Vatican officials identified some of the 'worst offenders' as Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath and AC/DC, whose initials they claimed referred not to alternating current or even bisexuality, but to the satanic phrase 'Anti-Christ, Death to Christ'."
