“Though Poland, homeland of the late John Paul II, is mainly Catholic, young urban Poles have overwhelmingly embraced pop culture and mores.”

Cheers for the young people. Ultimately the church will have to reform, or end up preaching to the dust in the pews and the dust of the old fuddy duddies and their backwards looking pope.

There are three groups in the church. The laity, of which the younger are mostly quite progressive, eg 50% of catholics under 30 support gay marriage.

The priests – a lot of good people who live under threat of losing their lifes worrk if they don’t kiss the ass of the other group…

The hierarchy – the church is against cloning, yet it has managed to clone people from the middle ages.

Interesting that this Catholic group failed to win support from the official Catholic church of Poland. Maybe the official church figured it had better things to do than to press for a rescheduling of a popular international pop icon like Madonna.

A church with a lighter hand will outlive a church with a heavy hand. A heavy handed and demanding church may only serve to further alienate the young Poles etc of this day who want an urban pop culture.

Ok the “dedication” is alot more offensive then the date of her concert.
Cathlics gotta find things to object to so people stop talking about the “wayward” priest’s & the churchs coroperation in continunce of the crimanal behavior!!!

You’re so right. It’s against the sectarian organization she’s part of they should fight really.

Not that I care much about Madonna. But they’re protesting her because the timing of her birthday is *inconvenient*?
