New York, Mar.30: Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie have enraged the Catholics by dressing up like a nun and the ailing Pope.
The couple who donned ecclesiastical costumes at a London party celebrating the Jewish holiday of Purim were instantly condemned to languish in the outer circle of hell by the Catholic League President William Donahue. "It just goes to show you what a moral slug this man [Ritchie] is that he would get dressed up as the Pope at a time like this", New York Daily News quoted Donahue as saying.
While, Madonna's rep Liz Rosenberg insisted that those costumes are worn as a traditional Purim rite. “No disrespect was intended. Madonna dreamed of becoming a nun when she was a little girl. She said, "Finally, Iwill make my father proud!" the report quoted her as saying.
Madonna had hit off similar scandals way back in 1989 when she wore a wimple and a crucifix for her "Like a Prayer" video and later when she embraced Kaballah.
"We are quite disappointed after learning that she'd returned to the fold, so to speak. We Catholics thought we had finally gotten rid of the witch when she discovered kabbala. In the event she discovers the Wiccan religion, the Catholic League would be happy to donate a proper [witch] costume to her. And we would be ever so happy to send her husband a broom complete with instructions for what to with it", the report quoted an enraged Donahue as saying. |
