Why Do They Hate Madonna So Much?

A 63-year-old Dutch priest has confessed to making a hoax bomb threat in an attempt to stop a concert by US pop star Madonna. Apparently, that guy was not very smart. A city official said the priest was arrested soon after making the call because he used his home phone.

It should be pointed out that, beyond this hoax, Madonna has been receiving many threats recently. Apparently she has been confined to her hotel room after death threats from the Russian mafia , while Czech newspapers claim she's refusing to go out in Prague - where she's playing three concerts - after crime bosses vowed to kill her. I have no idea why the Russian mafia wants to kill her, but I suspect that this is because of her messages against crime.

Anyway, thats beyond the point. I find most fascinating how upset the Church has been with her. So, why does the Church hate Madonna so much? The whole thing started with her crucification in a concert in Rome:

“To crucify yourself in the city of the pope and the martyrs is an act of open hostility” said Cardinal Ersilio Tonini from the Vatican.

“It’s not the first time Madonna stages such an act. We deplore it, we feel it is an act of bad taste” said Mario Scialoja, president of the Muslim World League in Italy.

“We express solidarity with the Catholic world” said Riccardo Pacifici, spokesman for Rome’s Jewish community. “It’s a disrespectful act, and to do it in Rome is even worse.”

Well, if representatives of all religions condemn her, she must be doing something good!!! I think Madonna is very cool and her open challenge to the religious establishment is appropriate and brilliant. Leave Madonna alone!
