Madonna provokes the Catholic Church with photos of Pope Francis generated by artificial intelligence

The 66-year-old singer poses in sexy clothes next to the pontiff and reignites a history of religious clashes

Controversial images

Our Lady has once again provoked the Catholic Church by releasing AI-generated images this Friday (12/13). The photos, published on Instagram stories, show the 66-year-old singer in provocative clothes next to Pope Francis. The posts generated immediate repercussions, reigniting the artist’s controversial relationship with religion. She has already been excommunicated three times by the Catholic Church.

History of controversies

Madonna has had a controversial relationship with the Catholic Church for decades. The first excommunication occurred in 1989, with the release of the music video for “Like a Prayer”, in which he appears kissing a representation of Jesus Christ as a black man and singing in front of burning crosses. In 1990, during the “Blond Ambition” tour, Madonna simulated masturbation on stage, which led Pope John Paul II to call for a boycott of her shows in Italy, classifying the show as a “Devil’s Circus”. The third excommunication occurred in 2006, during the “Confessions Tour”, when the singer appeared on stage crucified on a mirrored cross and wearing a crown of thorns, considered blasphemy by Pope Benedict XVI.

Visit to the Vatican

In 2022, Madonna requested a meeting with Pope Francis to discuss past “disagreements”, stating: “I’m a good Catholic. I swear. I mean, I don’t swear. It’s been a few decades since my last confession. It would be We can meet a day to discuss some important matters?” No response from the Vatican.

She didn’t give up. In August this year, Our Lady was spotted in the Vatican with an unexpected appearance. Wearing a white hat, she was seen walking through the streets near the Vatican Museums, attracting the attention of tourists and fans. An admirer recorded the moment she got out of a car in front of the venue.

Once again, the Church ignored the fact and made no official statement about the visit. The new provocation may have been motivated by a lack of attention to his attempts at dialogue. One of the captions on the AI-created images states that “it’s good to be seen.”
