Soon after climbing up on a table in a clingy, shimmering dress, the 57-year-old provocateur stated: “I created it. Can the pope do that?”
“And since the Pope – Popey Wopie – is on his way here, I wanna dedicate this song to him”, Madonna said, while the crowd cheered.
The Rebel Heart tour, like many of her concerts through the years, features a host of religious imagery, including female performers wearing skimpy nuns’ habits and pole dancing on crosses. However, she made sure to remind her fans about her tumultuous relationship with the Catholic church before calling the Pope a slightly inappropriate pet name.
Madonna, raised Roman Catholic in Michigan, has a long history of operating afoul of the Vatican.
Madonna previously caused controversy with her 1989 video for Like A Prayer, which featured images of burning crosses and stigmata.
