Lipa Archbishop Ramon Arguelles is asking Filipinos to boycott the Feb 24 and 25 concert of Madonna whom he slammed for her “suggestive” lifestyle and “vulgar” fashion statements.
“Madonna arrived in Manila days ahead of her Rebel Heart concert that would be held at SM Mall of Asia Arena, the same venue, Arguelles lamented, where Pope Francis met with Filipino families during his visit to the Philippines in January last year,” reports Maricar Cinco in Philippine Daily Inquirer.
Arguelles was quoted as saying, “Why is Catholic Philippines the favorite venue for blasphemy against God and the Holy Mother? (Madonna) is not even her real name. She is just using (Madonna) to taunt Mother Mary.”
For the record, though, Madonna’s birth name is Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone.
Arguelles was particular about “Western culture being brought upon Asians.”
