Alanis Morissette upset about breaking Cardinal rule at the Vatican
The faces of Vatican cardinals were left as red as their cassocks after realising Canadian star Alanis Morissette had understood every word they’d said about her after she met The Pope.
The Ironic singer met the pontiff in Rome, Italy in 2000 and the magical experience was ruined by French clergymen, who bickered about the star’s rudeness.
Morissette reveals the problems occurred as she left the stage after meeting The Pope – and did not know whether to walk in front of cardinals or not.
She explains, “I’m post-Catholic; I don’t know how it works anymore, so there was this awkward moment and I walked in front of them. They were all French and they were speaking about me behind me, saying how rude and horrible I was. I speak French, so I bit my tongue the whole way out and they were just ripping me apart, and then right at the tail end… I just turned back and spoke to them in French and said, ‘Thank you so much for your kindness.’”

Yeah, well don’t you think Alanis should have done some research for proper etiquette, so that she wouldn’t do a rude thing – just out of respect, no matter what you believe. If you’re against the Catholic religion, stay away from the functions, but if you accept an invitation to go somewhere, no matter what it is – at least respect the rules. On the other hand, the cardinals should have also kept their comments to themselves….out of respect. Strange world we live in – everybody else is wrong, we’re always right….

So a lady visiting the vatican and is unsure weather to walk in front of two clear men.
So they bad mouth her. Judging her and who she is, showing no respect for her or her bilingual culture (both western and french-canadian)and look like complete idiots in the end.
Yea..real good holy community. Way to do onto others.
Peace
