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.

I always thought she was looking for controversies to sell more records and to get full audiences for her concerts.

body piercing,

I guess I've been evil most of my life. My mom pierced my ears when I was only 6 weeks old :(

. Do these people really have nothing better to do?

They are focused on the YOLO culture and its negative effect on youth

Doesnt that witch Madonna read the Satanic Jewish Kabbalah?

You are thinking of the Hermetic Qabalah,

I still think she does it to attract attention. Until it will bore her to death, and then she will "discover" another conviction :)

I had to look up YOLO and it is indeed true - hedonism is nothing new

YOLO is not hedonism Jon, as I mentioned YOLO is FUBAR with self hate ( no boundaries ).

They are focused on the YOLO culture and its negative effect on youth.

they should be listening more to what the young people are trying to tell them - including young priests!

Er, isn't the whole point of the RCC that You Only Live Once and that you actions determine where you spend eternity?

So what exactly does that have to do with the YOLO culture?

The very fact that they're focusing on Madonna rather than genuinely harmful things like drugs says it all.

Precisely. Which is more of a threat to Poland: Madge or the rise of the far right? Rather dire music or violent racism? But then perhaps it's expecting a bit much to hope that the RCC speaks out against Nazis and anti-semitism.

I thought that YOLO stood for You Only Live Once. Doesn't it?

I would also be interested to discuss the motivations of this journalist Mathew Day he seems to be somewhat negative towards Poland in his articles

You can usually find him at the Tortilla Factory

then they end up having conferences on dull things like Madonna, piercings and tattoos rather than confronting the real issues that affect young people in Poland.
