Our hot topic for this week is the big issues surrounding Madonna's tour!
Most of you have probably heard the big stink she is causing!


Here is a quick recap...


Madonna's crucifixion plan castigated


Catholic Church official have castigated Madonna's plans to stage a fake crucifixion during a concert in Rome.

The pop superstar intends to appear crucified on a mirrored cross, while wearing a crown of thorns.

However, Roman Catholic officials have denounced it as a publicity stunt in bad taste.

"To crucify yourself in the city of the pope and the martyrs is an act of open hostility," Cardinal Ersilio Tonini said. "It's a scandal created on purpose by astute merchants to attract publicity."

Madonna first performed the controversial stunt during the opening concert of her current Confessions world tour.

I am not Catholic and I do think it is in poor taste.

Being a Christian, I am highly offended that she is mocking a symbol that is VERY important in my faith.

I think pretty much everything Madonna does is in bad taste. I mean look at those purple velvet jodpurs. No one would say those look good on anyone, even with her body. I am not religious so for me its neither here nor there. Just Madonna trying to act out and stir up controversy. She's

Sure it's in bad taste, but that's typical Madonna for you. Everything she does is a publicity stunt...and if she can offend half the world and get them talking, she will.

I enjoyed Madonna's music in the past (80's) but don't listen to her now.

As a Christian, I am very offended by her "crucifiction". I also heard that she was changing her name to Esther after Esther in the Bible. I also find this offensive.
