Uh, hooray? Austin Considine: "As the tranquil tones of church bells and choirs usher in another Easter Sunday, you may hear stirrings of controversy beneath those sounds - set to the pounding of a Lady Gaga tune. It's no accident that Lady Gaga decided to release the video for her provocative single, 'Judas,' this Easter. From wearing see-through nun habits to suggestively swallowing a rosary, the pop star, who was raised a Catholic, has consistently prodded her faith's strict sexual conventions."
