Bill Donohue Vs Madonna (Again)
"She is what she is. Which means she is more than obscene—she’s a Catholic basher. Girl Gone Wild begins with Madonna reciting the first few lines of The Act of Contrition. She must know it’s Lent. Then she prances around to the backdrop of a light-show configured to resemble a cross. The guy who is shown wearing a crown of thorns is no doubt meant as another Easter present. The CD also features I’m a Sinner. With lyrics such as 'I’m a sinner, I like it that way,' Madonna makes it clear that she always has Catholicism on her mind: 'Hail Mary full of grace' is followed by a quip about Jesus, St. Christopher and St. Anthony. Madonna likes narcotics. She admits that MDNA was chosen to reference both her name and the drug MDMA; the line from I’m a Sinner about 'magic dust' was dropped to refer to the PCP drug by that name. The open-minded gang will not object to any of this. In their moral universe, Catholic bashing is cool; homosexual themes are beautiful; and drugs are fun." - Bill Donohue, writing on his Catholic League blog.
