Although no footage has yet been seen (save for a snippet of a rehearsal at the end of a video Gaga tweeted), The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights have called nothing more than a stunt.

The group's president, Bill Donahue, said, "People have real talent, and then there is Lady Gaga. I find Gaga to be increasingly irrelevant. Is this the only way to jet up her performance? This isn't random, we are getting closer to Holy Week and Easter."

It seems that Gaga, who went to Catholic school herself for 13 years and says "we really believe in God at my show," is once again following in Madonna's footsteps.

In 1989 Madonna angered the Vatican after using a black actor to play Jesus in the video for "Like a Prayer."
