Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on what happened last night at the Grammys: 
 
 Nicki Minaj, fresh off looking like a fool with Madonna at the Super Bowl, showed up last night on the red carpet at the Grammys with a guy dressed like the pope. "Whether Minaj is possessed is surely an open question, but what is not in doubt is the irresponsibility of The Recording Academy," Catholic League President Bill Donohue said in the release. "Never would they allow an artist to insult Judaism or Islam." "It's bad enough that Catholics have to fight for their rights vis-a-vis a hostile administration in Washington without also having to fend off attacks in the entertainment industry," Donohue continued. "The net effect, however, will only embolden Catholics, as well as their friends in other faith communities."
– Madonna might've been down on her creaky old knees at the Super Bowl, but hell hath no fury like the Catholic League today over Nicki Minaj's religious-themed, stunt-laden appearance at last night's Grammy Awards. The League today issued a press release titled, "Is Nicki Minaj Possessed?" Concluding that the answer to that question is "open," the League blasted the Recording Academy for allowing the performance, saying, "Never would they allow an artist to insult Judaism or Islam." "It's bad enough that Catholics have to fight for their rights vis-a-vis a hostile administration in Washington without also having to fend off attacks in the entertainment industry," continued the release. Mainstream reactions to Minaj's performance—which featured her levitating and speaking in tongues—weren't much better, notes the Huffington Post. A typical tweet: "Stevie Wonder was the luckiest man in the crowd at the nicki minaj performance."
