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.

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.

eeek I saw her on TV doing that.
She's a bad girl
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.
