Catholic Cardinal says Madonna inspires impure thoughts


Retired Roman Catholic Cardinal Jorge Medina has come out and said that Madonna is causing ‘impure thoughts’ on her tour of South America. He said this during a mass honouring Augusto Pinochet. If it comes to a contest between Pinochet and Madonna to see who is most evil, Madonna is probably going to lose. Sure, they’re both dictators, but Madonna really just bosses around her underlings, as opposed to a whole country. If you cross her, she fires you, she doesn’t put you in front of a firing squad.

“This woman comes here and in an incredibly shameless manner, she provokes a crazy enthusiasm, an enthusiasm of lust, lustful thoughts, impure thoughts,” said Medina, the cardinal who was chosen to announce the election of Pope Benedict XV.

Hundreds of fans spent three days camping outside the National Stadium in Santiago to get good spots for Wednesday’s concert, the first of two. About 60,000 people were expected at each performance.

One of those waiting in line, Roberto Lopez, told local reporters that he had quit his job in the southern city of Punta Arenas because his boss had not given him time off to attend the concert.

Looking at Madonna, I’m not sure I’m getting ‘impure thoughts’. Sure, I wonder if she could crack a nut for with her thighs, I wonder if she knows how aging that shade of blonde is, but I can’t say that anything particularly sexy spings to mind. Then again, I’m just not into dominatrix chic, which is clearly what she’s going for. Nice boots though.

Obviously Madonna has a history of deliberately upsetting the Catholic Church, which criticized her Like A Prayer video, and her live act.

Madonna took her kids on a boat ride in Buenos Aires on a break during her Sticky and Sweet tour, where David was wearing the same ‘Speed Racer’ t-shirt my son has. I wonder who went to Target to buy it for him.

    She just inspires nausea for me.

  2. chick says:

    he just helped her sell more tickets. idiot. 🙄

  3. xiaoecho says:

    if the comments regularly written here about her are any guide he’s right. but of course the silly sausage is only adding to the problem by getting on the “Madonna is the antichrist” bandwagon himself

  4. geronimo says:

    Madonna is nothing but high camp entertainment. That cardinal is either speaking from his own personal perspective and needs to take a cold shower and/or go to confession and/or focus on whatever it is that cardinals do.

  5. Mairead says:

    “He said this during a mass honouring Augusto Pinochet.”

    Kinda says everything you need to know about the Cardinal, doesn’t it? It’s a damn sight easier to ignore Madonna than for the families of the disappeared to ignore the fact that a loved-one has suffered a cruel and undignified end or for the survivors to ignore the mental and physical scars of torture.

    I know, I shouldn’t say such terrible things about Pinochet, after all he was Maggie Thatcher’s BFF 🙄

  6. Granger says:

    While I think it’s nuts, he didn’t exactly say she was “evil” — just that she’s “shameless” and inspires “impure thoughts.” Which is probably true if you’re a sexually repressed Catholic priest.

  7. chenry says:

    I’ll say she does. Everytime I see her I want to murder her.

  8. Christina X says:

    Inspires impure thoughts?

    On who?

  9. Lauri says:

    But there is nothing sexy about her.

    Seriously-who would have impure thoughts thinking about her?

  10. vdantev says:

    Mostly annoyance anymore. The ‘Card’ is about 25 years behind on his declarations of the obvious.

  11. Baholicious says:

    Party on, Garth!

  12. Green Is Good says:

    Yet MORE free publicity for Vadge. 👿

  13. Nerd says:

    Christina X- It’s “On WHOM?” (Or, more accurately, “In whom?”) I’m sorry, but please, that is so grating.

    Also, the fact that this tool is is making these publicity generating statements at a ceremony for that fascist-lite A. Pinochet (good bud to George H.W. Bush) just makes it more rich. Now even more Chileans are going to quit their jobs to go see Maddy!

  14. kate says:

    madge was sexy in the 80s. now, not so much.

  15. Henny Penny says:

    Er, not since the 1990’s.

  16. jess says:

    anyone else tired of her creepy inner thighs?

  17. LuluR says:

    Wait, the Cardinal is saying a mass for a dictator who tortured and killed hundreds if not thousands of people and he’s judging Madonna? Give me a break; the Cardinal sounds confused/demented to me.

  18. westward ho says:

    well, i wish she’d go *&%# herself, so i guess the cardinal has a point.

  19. cellardoor says:

    She looks like Courtney Love in the first pic.

  20. Because I Say So says:

    ….um, maybe she inspires lustful thoughts for those that prefer trannies… That’s the only demographic I can think of that would find her even remotely “sexy” 🙄

  21. Dave says:

    Madonna only inspires inpure thoughts to old retired Cardinals

  22. Luli says:

    She paid him to say that.

  23. Nightbird says:

    Madonna seems to only upset Catholics. No one else cares.

  24. Oswind says:
