Madonna draws ire of Catholic League

Madonna draws ire of Catholic League

Haven't we been through this with Madonna before?

Less than 12 hours after Madonna crucified herself on a mirrored cross, the Catholic League expressed its discontent with the concert stunt.

The controversial diva wore a crown of thorns and sang while hanging from a cross during Sunday night’s opener of her “Confessions” world tour at The Forum in Inglewood.

Who is surprised?

Madonna's appeal has been dwindling. She has an older fan base, but her popularity has waned over the years. This stunt smacks of an attempt to call to mind her saucier, salad days.

Your thoughts?

She is old and can't accept it! Madonna should grow up and act like a mother. Tell God she is sorry, and then take a cue from her popular hit song and take a permanent "Holiday" off from acting like a fool!

I wouldn't doubt that she invited the Catholic League.

Interesting, that she draws the ire of such agitated right wing cooks as the Reformed Confederate Theocrats.

Unfortunately, what she has done is symbolically taken on the god-hood of Christ and Christ's martyrdom, so this must be condemned.

Like similar stunts (the Da Vinci Code comes to mind) notoriety is the spice of the atheists and agnostics.

Fruit salad!

My thoughts... Her little stunt on the cross screamed: "Father, it is finished" (her career, that is).

Her career is not over for sure. Before we condem her..lets see the content and context of what she is doing not just judge the image we see. I will let you know when I go see her in concert! Doubt it she is making fun of any religious image [not to say she is sinless..then again who is?]but using images to send a message. Isn't that what all art is about????? I still remember the "Like a Prayer" vvideo which was banned in Italy because of the religious images yet the video was about the evil of racism. Sad how we get stuck on images and rush to defend God..as if He needed it!
