Madonna's Moral Crusade

Pop queen Madonna has hit out at American flagship TV show Good Morning America for screening footage of a mother breastfeeding her eight year-old son. Speaking during an interview with New York radio DJ Rick Dees, the Material Girl denounced the July show, which dealt with an investigation by Illinois child-welfare officials into whether 34-year-old Lynn Stuckey, who also allowed the boy to share her bed, had created a harmful home environment. Madonna told Dees, "That's incest. People have no morals, I swear to God. The things that people do for ratings! It's unforgivable. The world is collapsing. Why is there a tape of it? It's terrible. That child will never recover. How dare Good Morning America play that tape?" But Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg denies the singer is guilty of hypocrisy, given that she released the controversial and highly explicit photo book Sex, Rosenberg says, "With her book, people had the option to buy it or not. TV is more of a public forum."

It's one thing to love and accept everyone into the church. It's quite another to place some of them before the congregation as leaders or role models.

She's run out of ways to shock people in her usual fashion. Perhaps she'll try and create shock by joining the Republican Party, and her next album will be full if wholesome, decent ballads.

Hmmm.

You get my quote-of-the-day award.

But I thought that those who have made dramatic changes in their lives due to embracing religion are to be examples to us all? Isn't there a story or two in the Bible about this?

[Crusader Rabbit]

Isn't Madonna's Morals on the list of the top ten shortest books in the English language?

[Paul Atreides]

Not to mention "The Wit and Wisdom of Barbra Streisand."

With this kind of statement, I doubt she's grown up at all. But, we can always hope.

...But I've made up my mind- I'm keeping my baby
I'm gonna keep my baby...

Papa don't preach...

That song of hers (granted, it acknowledged/condoned pre marital sex) would not fit in with the leftist morals of today. The liberals would decry her for coaching young women (and yes girls that found themselves in that situation as well) not to have an abortion.

Is this for real?

[MsLady]

He does love everyone. But, King Daivd was not allowed to build the temple of G-d because he had blood on his hands from battles. He had King Solomon do it. That did not mean G-d didn't love Him.

[Robert_Paulson2]

yeah... but even JESUS knows; some folks cannot sing worth a hoot.

Shall I hum you a few bars and make my point?
Get your earplugs.

[MsLady]

Exactly the point I was trying to make but, you did it better.

[InvisibleChurch]

who's calling the kettle black?

YES....AFTER repentance, I believe. (I'm NOT a Bible expert).....I don't think I've heard Madonna what's her name EVER repent. (Course, I don't listen to her, so what would I know.)

[Paul Atreides]

Yep.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

That's funny!

[mgist]

The complete change of attitude is what happens to most people when they become parents. When you are single you can afford to be self centered without much concern for morals. When you have children everything changes!

[Burkeman1]

I guess her limit is incest. Whoopie for her. What a daring stance!

[Niagara]

I once heard Fr. Benedict Groeshel say that he was praying for Madonna to join a Carmelite Convent in Tierra del Fuego.

Perhaps Father's prayers are starting to have some effect?

[tippytoes]

This is the most laughable post I have ever read. Do you think Madonna knows what a moral is?? Give me a break.
