Madonna or the Madonna?
I want to correct one mistake in the following at the outset, however: Madonna is a stage name. She was born Louise Veronica Ciccone. So the sacrilegious use of the name is intentional on her part.
Naming her daughter Lourdes is more of her weird love-hate relationship with traditional Catholic devotions, which I've guessed must be similar to the way gay men turn the elaborate aesthetics and reverential deference of Catholic worship into something erotic. As best said by my gay boss, as a greeting to another fag: "Hail, Holy Queen!"
Thanks to Old Oligarch for the update.
