American singer and songwriter
Madonna has reached out to
Pope Francis nearly two decades after her "blasphemous" behaviour was condemned by him.
According to a report, she stated that she'd like a second chance to make things right, vowing she's nothing less than "a good Catholic."
"Hello @Pontifex Francis --I'm a good Catholic. I Swear! I mean I don't Swear. It's been a few decades since my last confession. Would it be possible to meet up one day to discuss some important matters?" Madonna tweeted. She added, "I've been ex-communicated 3 times. It doesn't seem fair."
The pop star was famously slammed by the
Catholic Church
following her controversial 2006 performance in
Rome
in which she was "crucified" on stage as part of the act.
A publication reported that speaking at the time, the late Cardinal Ersilio Tonini spoke with the approval of Pope
Benedict XVI
, saying that the '
Queen of Pop
' took it "too far," slamming the performance as "blasphemous."
Madonna previously mentioned she was brought up as a Catholic and has been vocal about her relationship with religion, calling it "funny" in an interview with a magazine. "I like to provoke, it's in my DNA. But nine times out of 10, there's a reason for it," she said back in 2013, as per the outlet.
