Pop star Madonna has been accused of "Catholic-bashing" after she performed a routine featuring dancers dressed as nuns dancing on poles shaped like crosses.
The singer's performance of 'Holy Water' on her current tour, shows her stripping to reveal a skimpy nun's habit before her dancers act out the Last Supper with her playing Jesus.
Bill Donohue from the Catholic League said: "She launched into the obscene lyrics from her song 'Holy Water,' ripped off her skirt to reveal a skimpy nun's habit, and started to pole dance.
"She then used one of her dancers, also dressed as a nun, to ride like a surfboard.
"Then the dancers lined the stage to act out the Last Supper, with Madonna as the central focus.
"Examples of Madonna's anti-Catholic performances over the years abound, as a perusal of our annual reports amply documents.
"Now, at age 57, these seem to have become her last refuge as she struggles to avoid becoming an entertainment has-been.
"For her and her fans, apparently, Catholic-bashing is the one thing that never gets old".
The pop star brings her controversial show to London in December.
