Catholics ordered to boycott Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour in Philippines

It has been reported that a Roman Catholic bishop in the Philippines has urged the public not to support or attend Madonna's upcoming Rebel Heart Tour concerts in the country’s capital of Manila this week.

Local news sources have reported that Ramon Arguelles, the archbishop of Lipa City, a region in the south of Manila, said: "Why is the Catholic Philippines the favourite venue for blasphemy against God and the Holy Mother? Pinoys and all God-loving people should avoid sin and occasions of sin."

During her visit to Manila, the Queen of Pop visited Catholic-run orphanages and shared photographs of herself with the children on Instagram (pictured below), which she captioned with the following lines:

"Chillin' with my homies at the Bahay Tuluyan Foundation. Inc. giving shelter to orphans, street children, trafficking/abuse victims in Manila. Hats off to the Bahay Tulyan Foundation in Manilla for taking so many kids off the street and providing food and shelter!"
