Lady Gaga is a repulsive image that all people of good will should strive to avoid.
Her most recent pornographic music video – which features highly sexualised images coupled with Catholic religious symbols – betrays her as nothing more than a mediocre Madonna wannabe. In the video she squirms around half-naked with half-naked guys while abusing Catholic symbols. It is clear the singer has now become the new poster girl for American decadence and Catholic bashing which she perversely fobs off to the world as "creative art".
When asked in a recent interview by Larry King if she was considering having children some day she answered "not right now because it would destroy my creativeness". She seems oblivious to the fact that there is nothing more creative for a woman than to have a child.
Sadly, fame, fortune and false idolatry have become the heartbeat of American culture. These things seem more important to the masses than life itself. But in the end they are all only illusions that will wither and fade.
In the end "the first will be last and the last will be first".

Makes a change from Catholic priests, brothers and nuns sexually abusing children. Isn't the Catholic Church a mockery of real Christianity considering actual history? The Catholic Church sanctioned the Crusades - inappropiatly named the Christian Crusades - fermented anti-Semitism down the centuries that culminated in the attempts of the Nazi's to extreminate the Jews, but included the ghettoization of Jews, prevented Jews from all commercial activity except money lending and pursued a policy of enforced " Christianization " of Jews, covered up the sexual abuse of children whilst protecting the molestors, ring-fenced church assets against claims by victims and blatantly lied ( calling it " mental reservation ", as if that made it OK ) to legitimate authorities investigating matters related to the sexual abuse of children. All that said, there is no doubt that Lady Gaga's act is pornographic and therefore, offensive in the first place. The fact that the Catholic Church is targetted is, to me, secondary since the behaviour of the Catholic Church is the greater offence.
