Thursday, August 17th, 2006
Is it possible that Madonna could be excommunicated ? It looks as if it can be the true. Her controversial performence will be monitored by prosecutors in Germany. Her “Confessions Tour” stop in Düsseldorf on Sunday. Prosecutors want to make sure that Madonna’s performence won’t insults religious beliefs, but according to Johannes Mocken, a spokesperson for prosecutors in Düsseldorf, the authorities wouldn’t be able to send observers to the concert. They only would rely on media raports. Meanwhile singer defends herself by saying, “I don’t think Jesus would be mad at me and the message I’m trying to send.” . Her spokesperson adds, “The context of Madonna’s performance on the crucifix is not negative nor disrespectful toward the church.” Vatican Cardinal Ersilio Tonino even talked with the Pope about Madonna’s “profanation of the cross” and “called for the Catholic-raised Madonna to be excommunicated”.
