"infamous", "has received a fair amount of controversy"[edit]
The description of the song as "infamous" (rather than, say, "controversial") is a very negative value judgement that I feel has no business in a Wikipedia article. I suspect the writer doesn't actually know what "infamous" means, but it certainly isn't a neutral term - its synonyms include "outrageous", "monstrous" and "disgraceful". Maybe this is what the author thinks about the song, but there are plenty of people that would disagree.
As for "has received a fair amount of controversy", that simply isn't English. Someone or something can "raise" or "cause" controversy, and "receive" criticism, praise and much else besides.
I feel an article on such a sensitive topic should have been written by someone with a better command of English.213.127.210.95 (talk) 23:14, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- I completely, 100% agree. The article is too negative. 37.47.16.143 (talk) 12:31, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
The Protect the Pope blog - which the reference [5] directs us to - has been taken down. The quote which it supports now has no supporting reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.97.236.68 (talk) 12:45, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
