The relationship between Madonna and the Catholic Church is not the best, but the artist is willing to change that situation. This Thursday, May 5th, via Twitter, she asked for a meeting with, none other than Pope Francis for a confession.
“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 excommunicated 3 times.
It doesn’t seem fair. Sincerely Madonna“, tweeted the artist.

Madonna has been active since the 1980s and collects some controversies with her religious opponents. It is that the artist has irritated the Church a few times , as when she began to popularize the crucifix as a fashion accessory that to this day continue to use accessories of this type.

Of course, we cannot forget the release of “Like a Prayer“. In addition to the transformation in Madonna’s career and reputation, the song earned a clip that divided opinions to the point of being banned in some countries.
In it, the singer appears dancing in front of burning crucifixes, kissing a black saint and singing inside a church.
In 1990, Madonna caused a stir with some numbers of the “Blond Ambition” tour, where she simulated masturbation and warned the public to have safe sex. Such attitudes made the Pope of the time, John Paul II, ask the Italian people to boycott the shows.
Later that year, he dedicated the collection “The Immaculate Collection” to the Pope. In addition, he created a remix of “Justify My Love” with excerpts from the Book of Revelation, from the Bible. And, many of her later shows were considered “too explicit” and were dubbed the “devil’s circus” by the Catholic Church.
