...current issue of Rolling Stone, Sinead is quoted as saying: "There's no such thing as religion. There's only God...Organized religion is a lie...People must learn about the history of the Popes, the people who are running the world." Coming from a woman who says that rapper Ice Cube is "possibly the most powerful person in this country," it's hard to figure out who Sinead believes is running things...
...suppose Sinead was blaming the Pope for conservative Catholic views on social issues for which she has strong opinions: abortion, contraception, and homosexuality. She absolutely has the right to disagree, but by mutilating a photo of the Pope, there will not be a call for impeachment of the papacy and the overturning of hundreds of years of Catholic teachings.

Insulting a religious group to make a political statement shows poor taste and amounts to little more...

Both Sinead and Madonna have answered such criticism with indifference...
...real enemy"? It's people who go on tirades a la Sinead without thinking about their purposes or consequences. Spreading her personal gospel while dismissing politics as "designed to take you away from the truth," Sinead has sent mixed signals to her fans by not defining her ideology or position on matters she chooses to tackle. Without a doubt, nothing compares to you Sinead...
