The Many Faces of Madonna
By Bob Small
Madonna (Madonna Louise Ciccone) has been around for a longggg longggg time. See Madonna’s 50 Greatest Songs.
She’s still touring at age 65.
The last (free) stop on her “Celebration” tour, was not a cause for celebration for many conservative Christians who felt the “licentious” concert on Rio De Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach, on May 4, caused the devastating floods in Rio Grande de Sul.
Another Christian influencer pointed out that Rio Grande do Sul is one of the states with the highest number of centers of Umbanda and Candomblé, which are African Brazilian religions associated by many evangelical Christians with the devil,
For further information, see Spiritist Society of Philadelphia.
So these faithful types, who believe in the almighty power of God, are ascribing equal power to Madonna? Are you hearing yourselves?
Meanwhile, Justen Lipeles attended Madonna’s March 7 Concert then filed a class action suit due to, among other things, “intentional infliction of emotional distress” , “pornography without warning” and “topless women on stage stimulating sex acts”.
See also Madonna sued for “pornography without warning” and for “deceptiv
There was also z complaint that her concert did not start on time.
So this brings us, regrettably, to Woke War and we find ourselves praising at least one aspect of Billy Graham.
Owen Strachan recommends excommunication for the “woke” while Athena Butler, a Penn religion scholar and author of White Evangelical Racism: The Politics of Morality in America is at the opposite end of the spectrum.
While looking up Billy Graham, we discovered that in the 1953 Chattanooga Crusade he personally tore down the dividing ropes between the races, even though the head usher had insisted on segregation. This was two years before the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Would we consider this “woke” today and do we need to reconsider previous historical determinations?
