Catholics talk about Excommunicating Madonna

Catholic Church weighing Excommunicating Madonna. My question is, what is taking them so long? And, John Kerry and Edward Kennedy for their abortion stands, too?

During the song "Live and Tell", Madonna stood Jesus Christ-like on a huge cross, wearing a fake crown of thorns. It is that image that outraged senior Roman Catholics.

In a show of religious solidarity, Muslim and Jewish leaders also condemned Madonna, who was brought up as a Catholic and is famous for peppering her concerts and videos with religious and sexual imagery.

Cardinal Ersilio Tonino, speaking with Pope Benedict's approval said: "This time the limits have really been pushed too far. This (Concert) is a blasphemous challenge to the faith and a profanation of the cross." She should be excommunicated.

"To crucify herself during the concert in the city of popes and martyrs is an act of open hostility. It is nothing short of a scandal. What is really offensive is the exaggeration of it all; it is clearly anti-Church, in poor taste and, most of all, an insult to Christ."

It is not the first time Madonna has raised the ire of the Catholic Church. Its leaders condemned as blasphemous her 1989 Like a Prayer video, featuring burning crosses, statues crying blood, and Madonna seducing a black Jesus.
