| 2006-08-16 - Weird News Komfie Manalo - All Headline News Foreign Correspondent Germany To Monitor Madonna Concert And Calls For Excommunicating The Singer | ||
|
Berlin, Germany (AHN) -- The concert of international pop icon Madonna scheduled Sunday in Dusseldorf, Germany, will be monitored by German prosecutors to determine whether a mock crucifixion during the performance is offensive to religious beliefs. However, the prosecutors say they will not be watching the show live, but rather rely on media reports to conclude their observations. In her current world tour, controversial Madonna will appear on stage on a cross and wearing a crown of thorns. This segment of the show has provoked concerns in several countries. But Madonna insists that particular segment is aimed at raising awareness to assist AIDS charities. Roman Cathollic Cardinal Ersilio Tonino, speaking in Vatican City, calls the concert "a blasphemous challenge to the faith" and a "profanation of the cross." He said he was speaking with the approval of the Pontiff. The Cardinal is also seeking to excommunicate the singer, who was raised as a Catholic. In Rome, Muslim and Jewish leaders there raised a howl over Madonna's concert which was held last August 6. The concert pushed through including the controversial segment. Madonna's New York-based spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg, say the concert was not intended to insult any religious sector. She said, "The context of Madonna's performance on the crucifix is not negative nor disrespectful toward the church."
