1. Lauryn Hill puts Vatican on BLAST...inside the Vatican!
"VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - American singer Lauryn Hill, from a stage used by the Pope, shocked Catholic officials at a concert by telling them to "repent" and alluding to sexual abuse of children by U.S. priests.

The broadside came during the recording Saturday night of a Christmas concert attended by top Vatican cardinals, bishops and many elite of Italian society, witnesses said.

...

"God has been a witness to the corruption of his leadership, of the exploitation and abuses ... by the clergy," she said.


This was an apparent reference to the scandal in the United States last year over the sexual abuse of children by priests.


Hill told the crowd to seek blessings "from God not men" and said she did "not believe in representatives of God on earth."


A few feet away in the front row sat five cardinals, including Edmund Szoka, American governor of Vatican City.


Hill, 28, did not sing the song listed on the program but instead sang a song about social injustice." "
