A stop on Madonna’s Sticky and Sweet tour in Poland has angered a small group of Roman Catholics who say the August 15 concert date blasphemously collides with a feast of the Virgin Mary.

“Madonna, the singer, is perverse,” Marian Brudzynski, head of the Pro Polonia Committee for the Defence of the Faith and Tradition, told AFP Wednesday.

“She wants to be scandalous, show-off her body, her eroticism. We can expect to see all this during the concert. She might well masturbate on the stage if she’s under the influence of narcotics,” Brudzynski said.

“Madonna is an anti-icon of the Virgin Mary, she has proven it many times by mocking the Catholic faith,” he said.

Madonna’s concert coincides with the feast of the Assumption, a day when the faithful believe the mother of Jesus was to have gone to heaven, which is widely celebrated by Poles who are mostly Catholic.

It also falls on the day Poles mark their 1920 victory over Bolsheviks during the Polish-Soviet war, known as the Miracle on the Vistula.

“Delaying her concert for one day or switching it with the August 13 date in Prague, that certainly shouldn’t pose a problem,” Brudzynski said.

His committee has asked Warsaw city hall to cancel the singer’s “scandalous concert” on the day held sacred by Catholics. He also sent a letter requesting Poland’s President Lech Kaczynski intervene.

However, neither Poland’s Catholic Church, nor right-wing political parties or even the ultra-conservative Catholic Radio Maryja broadcaster, has endorsed Brudzynski’s opinion.

But Lech Walesa, Poland’s Solidarity-era legend and Nobel Peace Prize winner, has criticised Madonna’s choice of day for her concert.

“On this day, this great feast day for the religion of Polish people, there shouldn’t be any kind of confrontations,” Walesa said recently.

“I don’t want anyone to interfere with my prayer on this day. I quite like Madonna as a singer, but on this day I want to be able to reflect, to pray,” he said.

Unconfirmed reports suggest the international pop star who will celebrate her 51st birthday on August 16, wants to show her four children the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz located in the southern Polish town of Oswiecim.

Asked by AFP, Auschwitz museum officials said they “were not aware of this project” and advised against children visiting the Holocaust site.

Live Nation Hungary has accepted the apology of NUSI, concerning the problems that have arisen about the booking of the Puskas Ferenc Stadium for the concert of Madonna on August 22nd, and hereby informs the audience that the show will remain at the original venue, the Kincsem Park Hippodrome.

Live Nation remains perplexed by the position of the President of the Hungarian Football Federation, who refused our offer of grass replacement at the Puskas Ferenc Stadium, which would clearly have been in the best interests of Hungarian football. But the most important thing now is that the show must go on, and we must accept that the time is not sufficient to try to solve the issues, in the face of such inflexibility. Unfortunately though, this inflexibility could have serious consequences for the future of major concerts in Hungary.

We would like to take this opportunity to say a very special thanks to the management of Kincsem Park, who have shown commendable willingness to help throughout this affair. We look forward to welcoming the Madonna audience to an unforgettable concert at their excellent venue.

All tickets remain valid to the Kincsem Park with the original conditions.
