Madonna has courted controversy at a concert in Rome by dedicating her hit song Like A Virgin to the Pope.
"I dedicate this song to the Pope, because I'm a child of God," she told 60,000 fans in the Italian capital. "All of you are also children of God."
Two years ago, the 50-year-old was criticised by the Catholic Church for staging a mock crucifixion at a concert in the city's Olympic Stadium.
But Italian newspapers gave Saturday's concert warm reviews.
"At the Roman leg of her tour, Madonna didn't miss the opportunity for a provocation that will certainly be discussed," Corriere della Sera said on its front page.
Madonna has a long history of using religious imagery in her performances, with her 1989 video for the song Like A Prayer featuring burning crosses, statues crying blood and Madonna seducing a black Jesus.

Madonna在罗马的演出为教皇献唱Like A Virgin再次引起争议。Madonna在演唱的前对6万名粉丝说道，我将这首歌献给教皇因为我们都是上帝的孩子。
2年前Madonna的Confession Tour 在十字架上的演唱在罗马体育场表演也引起了相当大的争议.
意大利头号报纸Corriere della Sera头条批评Madonna:‘Madonna的罗马演出，她总不会错过制造争议的机会。’
宗教形象多次出现在Madonna的表演里。1989年Like A Prayer的音乐录影带里出现的燃烧十字架，流血泪的雕像，Madonna亲吻黑人Jesus.
