The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On February 2nd, Achille Lauro, an Italian rapper and singer, along with New York’s Harlem Gospel Choir, performed his song “Domenica” at Italy’s Sanremo music festival. Wearing only black leather pants and dark eyeshadow, the hip-thrusting Achille finished the performance by kneeling on the stage, hands clasped in front of him as if in prayer, and poured water from a bowl over his forehead, portraying a faux baptism that Italian bishops described as “profane.” The Vatican and Italian Catholic Bishop Antonio Suetta protested against the performance stating it contained “words, attitudes, and gestures that are not just offensive to religion, but to human dignity.” The bishop stated that initially he did not want to speak up against the performance to stop it from getting any attention. However, he couldn’t help but protest when Italy’s RAI state television broadcasted the performance. Meanwhile, the singer Lauro contends that the performance was intended to be a birthday gift to his mother.
