The Vatican accused Madonna of blasphemy and profanity today over her controversial stage act.

Er... uh... I hate to tell you this, but MADONNA IS NOT A CATHOLIC... Geesch... and since she is NOT A CATHOLIC, the Pope can not excommunicate her.

She's a Catholic? Hm the things you learn...Well if she hasn't been excommunicated before than I am surprised! But who cares any way? People have been excommunicated for less than that. Besides with the church's track record I don't think they are in any place to still be doing that, do you? The Church is no longer in the same power as it once was. So if any one gets excommunicated it's no real big loss. She's still rather weird. But lets not give her any more publicity. In my opinion she's been in the business a little too long. She needs a long break, preferably retirement. It's really rather best not to give her or it any more attention. Then it will all go away and be forgotten. I'm sure many people have forgotten it already and have just carried on with their lives.

Well, I'm not sure if she is Catholic, but if she is, she should be excommunicated. And, for the people that are saying that she follows Kabbalah..she doesn't anymore. I don't know if she just lost interest (because she changes all of the time), or if she got thrown out. A song on her new album called "Isaac" ticked off a bunch of Rabbis. See this link for that story: http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=1198546#
Sad way to get attention, stirring up controversies among different religions.

Does anyone fail to see the very minute significance about this. First of all, she does it to get people talking. She is really not that important compared to the real issues going on in the world.
Rome should be focusing on other issues. Her actions are of little or no consequence. I think she is more into Jewish Mysticism, as opposed to being catholic.

I don't know exactly what the Catholic Church's rules on excommunicaiton are..and don't know if Maddonna making a fool of herself constitutes excommunicaiton. I do not believe that any devout Catholic or Christian of any denomination pays much attention to her. She is a has-been and wiill stop at nothing to attempt to draw attention to herself.

Madonna is the only person on earth who thinks that she is in the church.
But what does it matter ?
FAQ: How could a loving God cast people into hell?
"And I have the keys of hell and death, signifies that He alone can save. By "keys" is signified the power of opening and shutting; here the power of opening hell, that man may be brought forth, and of shutting, lest, when he is brought forth, he should enter again. For man is born in evils of all kinds, thus in hell, for evils are hell; he is brought out of it by the Lord, to whom belongs the power of opening it. That by "having the keys of hell and death," is not meant the power of casting into hell, but the power of saving, is because it immediately follows after these words:
Behold, I am alive for ages of ages;
by which is signified that He alone is eternal life (n. 60); and the Lord never casts anyone into hell, but man casts himself. By "keys" is signified the power of opening and shutting, in Revelation also (3:7; 9:1; 20:1; also in Isa. 22:21, 22; in Matt. 16:19; and in Luke 11:52). The power of the Lord is not only over heaven, but also over hell; for hell is kept in order and connection by oppositions against heaven; for which reason, He who rules the one must necessarily rule the other; otherwise man could not be saved; to be saved is to be brought out of hell" (Apocalypse Revealed n. 62).

I feel Madonna knows better than to care for that. I don't think she's not sleeping in fear.
