Madonna recently ignited a stir among her fans with some new images featuring her and Pope Francis, sparking quite the controversy.

The pop icon has been in the headlines once again, courtesy of some AI-generated images that depict her alongside the revered religious leader.

This past Friday, Madonna took to Instagram to unveil two fabricated images that illustrate the Pope getting rather familiar with her, leading to quite the uproar.

Madonna’s clash with the Catholic Church is longstanding, reaching back over three decades, and this latest incident is just another chapter in this tumultuous saga.

In addition to these digitally created images, the Queen of Pop captioned her post with ‘Going into the weekend like….’ This statement added fuel to the fire and caused even more fan outrage.

Madonna expressed enjoyment over the fake image of the Roman Pontiff, where he is seen with his arm around her waist, his face leaning closely toward hers.

The images, seemingly poking fun at the religious leader, did not sit well with many, who criticized Madonna for her continuous barrage against the Vatican with such provocative posts.

Last year, she was already criticized in Milan. Following her rumored excommunication from the church, she appeared in an outfit deemed highly inappropriate for a religious occasion.

Sporting a bold corset and an array of jewels around her neck, her choice of attire was widely condemned as disgraceful.
