Catholic leader Archbishop Ramon Arguelles urged the public to boycott her two concerts.

The pot calling the kettle black.

I urge the public to boycott the Catholic church, which has a far more nefarious record of sexual depravity in the form of child molestation by many of its priests. Not to mention the poverty exacerbated by its anti-birth control policy.

Whose sexual orientation has caused more damage to the world?

In the Philippines, Catholic leader Archbishop Ramon Arguelles urged the public to boycott her two concerts.

Why should the public heed advice about sexuality from the Catholic church? What kind of example has it set?

Despite the protests of conservative Christians and warnings by state censors, Lady Gaga declared “I’m not a creature of your government, Manila”. She then belted out her controversial song “Judas”, which her Filipino critics have labelled as blasphemous.

Zing!!!

A group of about 500 Christian activists tried to march on the Arena, singing religious songs while carrying placards saying Stop Lady Gaga, the mother monster.

LOL this made me laugh hard.

her second show on Tuesday night could be banned if the censors among the audience monitored any hints of blasphemy, devil worship, nudity or lewd conduct.

What an absolutely pathetic and boring place to grow up The Philippines must be.

Fair enough. You're probably right. I've never been there and had no right to say that anyway.

Oh yes, she is so tough when it comes to offending Catholics, who do nothing but peacefully protest.

Lets see if she has the same courage when it comes to standing up to muslims in Indonesia next month.

Of course, not. Either she´ll cancel her Indonesia concert, or she´ll tone it down to the point where she looks like a Catholic nun.

Same story as always....
