Madonna to be discussed at Polish exorcists meeting

Long the scourge of the Catholic Church, Madonna has often triggered Christian ire, once going through a mock crucifixion during one her stage shows.

Now her music and shows will come under the scrutiny of priests trained in the art of defeating demons, treating satanic possession and looking for the devil in a section of the conference dedicated to finding evil in popular culture.

"Part of the conference is dedicated to the hidden subliminal message in communication, and the choice of this subject was inspired by the woman who dares to call herself Madonna," said Father Andrzej Grefkowic, an exorcist and one of the organisers of the conference. "We've been worried about her concerts."

Although popular in Poland, Madonna has faced frequent protests by conservatives against her shows in a country where the Catholic Church retains considerable influence. She has also had to contest with calls for her concerts to be banned on the grounds she is antireligious and promotes a deviant lifestyle.

Father Grefkowic also warned of a growing risk from Satan, highlighting the increasing popularity of tattoos, body piercing, horoscopes and magic shows as ways evil could corrupt people

While I wouldn’t necessarily rule out Madonna being possessed by demons, I think her antics are more to make up for her lack of appealing musical talent. Madonna achieves notoriety not by being talented but by being provocative and offensive. Kind of like road kill even though you know its going to be bad many people look anyway. Ditto for Lady GaGa.

Demons. Right. How about hers, or even just our own warped mines? What is this Hindu appeal?

"who dares to call herself Madonna,"

Actually you can blame her parents for that. It's her real name.

The Polish Clergy better keep a weather eye open for uninvited guests. Madonna would be lovin it, to crash their party for the publicity. Madonna is wealthy enough and fading-star insecure enough to hop onto the next flight directly to Poland. She would have her camera crew, lawyers, her latest abducted, I mean adopted children and their babysitter/interns in a second plane.

I knew she had problems, but I was sure she was just guilty of being an overpaid, no talent, self promoting hack. Boy, ya think ya know someone, and wham, devil, just like that.
