Sex and Religion in “Like a Prayer”
A mix of sex and religion, the 1989 music video for “Like a Prayer” caused one of the first conflicts between Madonna and the Catholic Church.
In the video clip, the singer can be seen wooing an African-American religious figure, as well as setting fire to a cross, possibly referencing the symbol of the Ku Klux Klan.
The Vatican called it blasphemy, while Madonna was excommunicated and criticized by Pope Juan Pablo II, who maligned her lovely blonde ambition in his travels through Italy.

Crucified Madonna?
The conflict with the Vatican came to the fore again in 2006 during his Confessions tour.
While singing “Live to Tell”, Madonna followed a mirror crucifix with a crown of thorns, emulating the crucifixion of Jesus.
