Madonna Offending Catholics....

Tuesday, March 29, 2005

again...

Thought #1: Why do practicing Catholics even pay attention to Madonna's ongoing efforts to tweak them after 20+ years? You know she's going to do it. You know she's doing it because she loves your infuriated reaction and to put her name in the headlines.

Why respond? It seems to me if you really want her to stop tweaking Catholics, then the most intelligent response when asked for comment about her latest anti-Catholic behavior is "Madonna Who?"

Thought #2: What was the point of wearing the Catholic get-ups at a Jewish celebration? There's obviously much more to it than her people are admitting: they were being deliberately provocative. OK. But to what end? Other than purposely offending many Catholics whom she's never met, was there a significant statement being made that would have given the offense a purpose? In my opinion, a better choice could have been made: giving purposeless offense isn't trendy or hot...it's just mean...
