During the performance, she ripped a photo of Pope John Paul II in half while singing Bob Marley‘s “War” in protest of the Catholic Church’s cover-up of sexual abuse scandals and its role in perpetuating oppression.
Joe Pesci would later address the incident a week later in his monologue, and re-runs of the show included her rehearsal footage.
“I think it was really important and artistic…for an Irish female Catholic survivor of child abuse, to have made such an artistic and spiritual gesture really was very important,” she later told WSJ.
