The Roman Catholic Lady Gaga On Religion And The Church

While intuitively it makes a lot of sense to me that Lady Gaga embraces Roman Catholicism—she’s Italian, she has a lavish, theatrical aesthetic inherited inevitably in part from the most tangible, sensuous, and theatric form of Western Christianity, she’s a self-conscious transgressor who needs to some extent to think in terms of traditional binary logics […]
