Lady Gaga Judas

This Lady Gaga video is filled with religious symbolism. In the video Gaga is portraying the role of Mary Magdalene whom was a loyal follower of Jesus. In this video Gaga represents Magdalene as more of Jesus's lover which would be heavily frowned upon by Christians as it misrepresents the bible. Although the music video could be seen as almost a biblical story, exploring the idea of how Judas the disciple betrayed Jesus and how Magdeline was stoned to death, Catholics condemned the video and Gaga for taking this religious story and retelling it in such an extreme way.
The video shows Jesus as a biker style man wearing a leather jacket and riding a motorbike, to link these two together to a catholic would be the ultimate sin due to the connotations of a biker, (living as far from a christian life as possible). However this could also be seen as trying to teach the modern generation, who are exposed to alternative lifestyles everyday, some form of biblical information.
