Madonna applauds Suor Cristina Scuccia

Christ’s enemies are laughing…

Madonna Applauds Suor Cristina

When the Sicilian Ursuline nun Sister Cristina Scuccia first appeared on the Italian talent show The Voice of Italy in March of this year, we denounced her fiercely and noted:

In October, Sr. Cristina published a cover version of the raunchy Madonna song “Like a Virgin”, and not surprisingly, the original blasphemous “artist” herself has now chimed in — and, judging by her tweets, is quite pleased with Cristina’s work.

On her Twitter account, Madonna sent out two tweets endorsing Sr. Cristina. We reproduce screenshots of them below but have censored the photos for obvious reasons:

In this tweet, Madonna has photoshopped herself into the picture, which is the cover photo of Sr. Cristina’s first album. Notice the sarcastic caption, “Sisters for Life!” and the hashtag slogan, which is part of the song “Like a Virgin”. We notice also that the tweet was retweeted 1,182 times and favortited 1,535 times. The world loves it.

This tweet contains a snapshot from the video of Madonna’s original song, “Like a Virgin”, which is juxtaposed with Sr. Cristina’s cover version 30 years later. Both videos were shot at the same location in Venice. Again, the number of retweets and favorites tells us how much the world loves what Cristina is doing — and not because it’s so Catholic.

See, then, how the world reacts to the impious spectacle of Suor Cristina. Just as homo-pervert Elton John loves “Pope” Francis because of how un-Catholic he is, so Madonna praises the Ursuline religious not because she is such a wonderful Catholic bringing Christ to the world, but because she’s made a mockery of Catholicism, humiliating it before the world, now tainting it even with the blasphemies and impurities of a woman who’s made scoffing at Catholicism and all that is holy and pure into a veritable career.

Of course, there will always be some who will later say, “It was Suor Cristina who brought me back to church!” But such cases are exceptions and not the rule; they occur in spite of the scandal, not because of it. And they are utterly eclipsed by the number of souls that, consciously or not, are drifting further and further away from Catholicism, and who harbor more and more of a disgust for it, as they look at the Novus Ordo religion and, not knowing any better, identify it with the true religion founded by Christ, the holy Roman Catholic Church.

After all, a church that does not take its own claimed sacredness seriously and whose head jokes about the Crucifixion of Christ and does not see the point of converting anyone, what is such a church worth? Why bother belonging to it — especially with such inconvenient things like confession, fasting and penance, lifelong marriage vows, and the Ten Commandments?

It is not in being like to the world that we gain credibility or reach souls, but in being what we are called to be: in the world, though not of it (see Jn 17:11,16). It is precisely in standing out, firm and steadfast against all opposition, preaching the same doctrine and same morals for 2,000 years, come what may, that people recognize the Catholic Church as the “pillar and ground of the truth” (1 Tim 3:15). That church, it should be clear to everyone now, is not the institution headed by “Pope” Francis.

By the way, on Wednesday, December 10, Sr. Cristina met “Pope” Francis at his general audience in the piazza of St. Peter’s, where she handed him a copy of her first album, appropriately named after herself, “Sister Cristina.” More details on this encounter can be found here.

Thankfully, now even some Novus Ordo commentators are criticizing Cristina’s work, as this post by Catholic News Agency reveals, focusing specifically on the scandalous song Like a Virgin.

That such an impious and scandalous approach to evangelization should not bear good fruit is also backed up by the numbers: The Novus Ordo church, so hell-bent on being “relevant” and appealing to the world, is dying a slow but certain death, as these recent statistics once more affirm. The world just isn’t interested in an institution that tries to imitate it.

The fifteenth-century contemplative St. Nicholas of Flue prophesied:

May the Good Lord hasten the day.
