In the USA, conservatives (especially Christians) have objected to Ciccone's "immoral" or "immodest" garb and extremely [[sacrilegious]] material such as videos featuring her simulating immoral acts with statues and public vulgarity.  [[Pope John Paul II]] was especially critical of Madonna, urging [[Catholic]]s to boycott her music and concerts.

Early in her career, she became known for her "risqué" attitudes towards religion and sexuality.  These attitudes were perhaps best exemplified in the music videos for her songs "Erotica," featuring implied [[homosexuality]] and other abhorrent sexual practices, and "Like a Prayer" which implies a sexual relationship between Madonna and a sculpture of a black Jesus Christ which comes to life during the course of the video.  Her ''Truth or Dare'' "documentary" and an accompanying book provocatively titled "Sex" both were explicit displays of her deviant sexual exploits and were harshly criticized by pro-family groups.  Many critics have called her actions as "manipulative" and "deliberately controversial" simply to stay famous.  Madonna has negatively influenced many younger females, such as Britney Spears and Lady Gaga, singlehandedly spawning "raunch" or "pornochic culture."
