Madonna’s Bulgarian fans have been urged not to attend her upcoming show by the country’s Orthodox Church. The singer is due to take her Sticky and Sweet tour Sofia's Vasil Levski Stadium on Saturday but Church officials have expressed their "disapproval and disagreement" that the show falls on a day of lent for Orthodox Christians marking the beheading of John the Baptist. "We express our Christian support and approval for the art of singing, which influences the moral development of people and promotes universal moral values," the Church said in a statement. "In some of her choreography and stage scenarios, this singer sends impressive messages which, however, run contrary to Christian morality." The church also accused Madonna of displaying "a disrespectful and intolerant attitude" to the religious feelings of Christians.
