Madonna has invited Pope Benedict XVI to be the guest of honor at her Rome, Italy, Confessions concert on Sunday, which features the mock crucifixion of the singer. Religious leaders in Italy and The Vatican have united to publicly denounce the singer's controversial stage act, in which she is 'crucified' on a diamante-studded cross, while wearing a crown of thorns.
Ersilio Cardinal Tonino, speaking on behalf of The Pope, said yesterday, "This concert is a blasphemous challenge to the faith and a profanation of the cross. She should be ex-communicated. To crucify herself during the concert in the city of Popes and martyrs is an act of open hostility."
Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg tells the New York Daily News, "I think the Pope would enjoy the show and would applaud her performance. He has an open invitation to see for himself the eloquence and beauty that Madonna expresses for humanity while performing her poignant song 'Live To Tell.'"
Just ignore her. She'd hate that.
Actually, now that I think about it, Madonna being crucified is not such a bad idea.
The last gasp of her career....next she'll set up a political blog, like BraBra.
That hag has jumped the shark.
She's a pig-slut, but the girl still has a hell of a body.
My husband wants to know if she's going to use real nails!!
Isn't this the same kind of thing Sinead O'Connor did when she tore up the pic of the pope?
How far is Madonna gonna go before people just can't stand to hear her name? (I'm already there...)
Let's just burn her at the stake.
Gotta hammer? I've got the nails.
Madonna thinks she's controversial because she can descend to every level of depravity and offend people with her despicable behavior. Those that encourage such behavior disguise such disgusting actions as "controversial". Watch this word. Whenever it is mentioned in the media, you can bet they are trying to balance out the debate by covering for one side by portraying their actions as "controversial". It's a pitiful tactic. Madonna's never done a single controversial tactic in her life. Try crucifying Mohammed, Madonna. See how that flies. That would be truly controversial.
Thank you.
I give her 5 years before she decides she's a muslim. However her conversion won't last long once muslims start calling for her head.
I agree.
Let's start a campaign to taunt Madona into doing a Mohamed slam concert or "song". If we "dare"her it will do two things...1) it will make her present stunt look lame and passe 2)it will push her fans to demand she do it.
I wonder if she would even make it through ONE song against the MOOOSlims.
Oh, yes, and let her invite the leaders of Hezbollah.
Now THAT would be controversial.
burn her!
she's a witch! she turned me into a newt.
burn her!
sincerely,
Newt Gingrich
Liberals are bullies and cowards at heart. They repeatedly attack the Christians and Jews they know won't react with violence.
I for one challenge liberals all the time to treat muslims with the same venom they treat us with. Cowards all.
