I suppose it was only a matter of time, she has tried everything else.
There is a report out there that the Material Girl has ditched Kaballah for Opus Dei.
FOR the past 15 years, she has been Kabbalah’s most high profile and dedicated follower.
But now Madonna has apparently ditched the controversial faith and taken up with Opus Dei – the secretive Catholic sect made famous in The Da Vinci Code.
The singer is said to be intrigued by the organisation and spent Friday with priests from the centre’s London HQ.
The move follows her alleged falling out with some Kabbalah leaders after reports that cash raised for her Malawi charity was squandered. Last night a source claimed: “She has invested so much into Kabbalah so she was devastated by these damning accusations.
“She has started exploring different religions. Madonna has always been intrigued by Opus Dei. As yet, she’s not a fully paid-up member – she’s just had informal chats.”
Can albino assassins be far behind?
As for the seriousness of this, I will wait and see. Opus Dei could do her a lot of good. I doubt it is serious, but I hope it is true. If she does join, I guess she will have to give away half her wardrobe to a charity for homeless hookers.

You don't have to pay to be a member of Opus Dei. It is a vocation and you taught the faith, then expected to help support the Work and the Church. As a matter of fact, you don't and cannot buy membership.

Madonna filmed scenes of "Who's That Girl" at Riverside Study Center in Manhattan, a center of Opus Dei, in the late 1980's.

Please wake me up. I am laughing way to hard to still be sleeping.

Wake you up? If you are laughing so hard to still be sleeping then you are…um… already awake. DUH! 😉 Unless of course you live only partially in the world of the fully awake. Which seems to make sense, because if you were fully awake, you might not be laughing at all – at least not at this.
Is it far fetched to think that Madonna could have a complete conversion of soul? I for one don't think so. God's Mercy is limitless, his love is also infinite. "With God all things are possible". Madonna has presumably been baptized as well. So the grace's of her Baptism are still with her.
All it would take would be one…simple…act.. of her will to ask God with a fully open and truly sincere heart to be shown His true love for her, and I believe that she would find those Baptismal graces activated.
That when she's really "in trouble" because the inescapable logic, reason, and compulsion of the Holy Spirit would mean that she would need to give up quite at lot in exchange for her true freedom – from herself – and from sin.
Funny. It's the same thing that we all need to do right? Die to ourselves every day for others in order to gain our utter freedom from sin?
Let's pray for her. Why not?! We should love all God's children and, yes, what a conversion she would make!

Well, I do pray for Madonna from time to time, and I will now make it nightly. Many of her songs are very nice, but I have resolved not to support her in any way until she stops being anti-Church. Oh Mary, please intercede for her conversion!

A soul is a soul is a soul. While I doubt there is truth in the story but don't forget–conversions do happen.
