Catholic Church Not Giddy For Gaga

Like Madonna before her, Lada Gaga is really, really good at pissing people off. Her latest angry opponent: the Catholic Church. 

The issue at hand: Gaga's newest music video -- which hasn't even been released yet -- apparently makes a jab or two toward coveted religious figures like Mary Magdalene. The Catholic Church is upset, but so are Latino Groups (that are Catholic). 

Jorge Serrano, of the civil rights group Take Back Aztlá, had this to say about the video: "She falls in love with a Black Jesus," and "is just exploiting the Catholic religion, which many Latinos follow."

We've seen our fair share of Black God's over the years -- Morgan Freeman in Bruce All-Mighty springs to mind -- but apparently a Black Jesus is too much.

Is Gaga more controversial than Madonna? Did she cross the line this time?
