Madonna asks to be confessed by the pope
Madonna has written a message to Pope Francis asking him to confess her and to discuss « important matters » with him.
The 63-year-old singer, who has long used provocative religious imagery to boost her career, wants to meet with the Holy Father to get « a second chance » to make things right.
Madonna Louise Ciccone has reached out to Pope Francis nearly two decades after the Vatican condemned her « blasphemous » behavior.
The star took to Twitter to call out the pope.
Hello @Pontifex Francis —I’m a good Catholic. I Swear! I mean I don’t Swear! Its been a few decades since my last confession. Would it be possible to meet up one day to discuss some important matters ?
I’ve been ex communicated 3 times. It doesn’t seem fair. Sincerely Madonna— Madonna (@Madonna) May 5, 2022
« Hello @Francois – I’m a good Catholic. I swear! I mean I don’t swear! It’s been a few decades since my last confession. Would it be possible to meet sometime to discuss some important issues? » the singer begins.
« I’ve been ex-confessed three times. It doesn’t seem fair, » Madonna continued.
The star, who will launch in a few weeks a compilation album of remixes of numbers 1, was still waiting at the time of writing for a response from the pontiff.
The Queen of Pop has incurred the wrath of the Catholic Church after her controversial 2006 show in Rome, during which she was « crucified » on stage. The Church, led at the time byPope Benedict XVI, called the performance « blasphemous ».
