Madonna angers fans with AI photos of her and Pope Francis

This is not like a prayer.
Madonna had fans in a frenzy after she shared AI-generated photos of her and Pope Francis getting handsy on her Instagram Story Friday night.
The first photo depicted the pope, 87, hugging the “Frozen” singer, 66, from the side with a huge smile across his face. His nose was pressed against her cheek.
“Going into the weekend like…” she captioned the head-turning snap.
The second image showed Madonna in a lacy corset with Pope Francis seemingly going in for a kiss as he wrapped one arm around her waist.
“Feels Good to Be Seen……” the “Like a Virgin” singer penned atop the second snap.
Social media users were quick to slam Madonna over the images, with one calling her actions “ridiculously disrespectful.”
Another person wrote via X that the “Vogue” singer’s post was “creepy,” while a third unamused individual said, “This is just weird as hell… she’s lost it.”
“Disgusting! I pray her soul gets saved!” another critic seemingly shouted from behind their screen.
Page Six reached out to Madonna’s reps for comment on the backlash but did not immediately hear back.
The seven-time Grammy winner is no stranger to stirring up controversy, however, as she has done so several times throughout her career.
The Vatican once suggested that people boycott Madonna’s Blond Ambition World Tour due to her 1989 “Like a Prayer” music video, per Entertainment Tonight.
The controversial video featured her kissing a black saint who was wrongly accused of murder and several religious symbols, such as burning crosses.
Her commercial with Pepsi was even pulled at the time, though Madonna was given permission to share it in September 2023.
“Artists are here to disturb the peace,” she wrote in the caption of an Instagram Reel at the time, as she debuted the commercial after it sat in the dark for 34 years.
Earlier this year, Madonna was sued by a fan who attended her “Celebration” tour and accused her of exposing fans to “pornography without warning.”
Her shows surely had some punch to them — as her backup dancers were routinely filmed giving raunchy lap dances on stage.
During an April concert in Miami, the Queen of Pop gave Ricky Martin a lap dance and fans were convinced he got physically aroused.
