If there is a pope who would appreciate Madonna, it's Pope Alexander VI, Roderic de Borgia, who lived in the 15th century. On Sept 8, 2008, pop star Madonna, once accused by the Vatican of staging one of the most satanic shows in history, dedicated her hit "Like a Virgin" to Pope Benedict at a sold-out concert in Rome over the weekend.
"I dedicate this song to the pope, because I'm a child of God. All of you are also children of God," Madonna, 50, told the 60,000 fans that flocked to the Italian stop of her "Sticky & Sweet" world tour on Saturday. Madonna, who comes from a devout Italian Catholic family, has raised the ire of the Catholic Church in the past with sexually charged antics designed to shock.
Pope Alexander VI was no stranger to sex, keeping a mistress and fathering four children by her. His infamous daughter Lucretia Borgia is depicted in literature as a consummate and ruthless politician.
