LOL this is the most ironic thing I've seen in years. Man, I love this woman. In this video she's basically slapping the pope, the church and all the believers right in the face while they all bow in front of her and appalude her. XD SHE is BABA!
It's not about India. Baba means father in many languages, and it's quite obvious she's using it in that sense. Nor is it solely about Catholicism or Hinduism. The song is about organized religions that use people for their own benefit, greedy religious leaders who watch as people bow at their feet and pay them for a promised salvation they never actually receive. Performing this for the POPE, of all people, was either very brave or very stupid. Either way I admire her for it.
The live version is nice. Beautiful song, with a message for all of us (including the religious - myself included). Follow your beliefs because you believe in them, not because someone tells you to. -
This song isn't about Catholicism, Catholics do not chant to the Hindu goddess Kali. The only "Catholic" reference is the end "Ave Maria", which I love.

This is about Sai Baba in India, kids.

Maybe instead of being about Catholicism, it's about organized religion in general...
It's still a great song either way!!!

She is a fascinating person.
Her songs tell the truth.

I don't think so. She isn't criticizing the Catholic Church at all...
