Talking of God related things, religious leaders in Rome have united in criticising that mock-crucifixion bit from Madonna's Confessions tour. As you will remember, Madonna appears on a giant mirrored cross with a crown of thorns on.
I don't care what she does to court controversy (it's quite surprising she can still do it at all), but Father Manfredo Leone of Rome's Santa Maria Liberatrice church isn't pleased, and has told Reuters that he considers it "disrespectful, in bad taste and provocative. Being raised on a cross with a crown of thorns like a modern Christ is absurd. Doing it in the cradle of Christianity comes close to blasphemy."
He's been backed up by other religious leaders, too, though. Mario Scialoja, head of Italy's Muslim League, says Madonna would "do better to go home", words echoed by a spokesman for Rome's Jewish community.
