all about Madonna

Orthodox Church officials are urging Bulgarians to keep away from a planned Madonna concert this weekend, accusing the pop singer of showing disrespect to Christianity.

The powerful Church of Bulgaria has issued a statement expressing “disapproval and disagreement” with Saturday’s event, and says the U.S. performer “openly violates” holy Christian symbols.

Tuesday’s statement accused Madonna of displaying “a disrespectful and intolerant attitude” to the religious feelings of Christians on her ongoing Sticky and Sweet tour.

Madonna arrives in Sofia after a concert Wednesday in neighboring Romania.

The show at Sofia’s Vasil Levski Stadium is expected to be attended by about 50,000 people. Tickets cost up to 150 leva ($110).

Romanian authorities say roads in downtown Bucharest will be closed to traffic for six hours during Madonna’s concert that is part of her Sticky and Sweet tour.

Bucharest City Hall says the streets leading to the park where Madonna will hold the open-air concert will be temporarily turned into pedestrian areas. Buses will run on different routes.

The Aug. 26 concert takes place in Izvor Park, where late Pope John Paul II spoke to Romanian crowds in 1999.

It is yards from the giant palace built by late dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, rated the second-largest official building in the world, after the Pentagon.
