Madonna's "Like a Prayer" video tells the story of a man wrongly accused of rape which Madonna witnesses, however she is threatened and runs to the church for guidence. There a black Jesus comforts her and she now knows she must tell the truth to help set free the innocent man.
The music video caused outrage within the Catholic church because Jesus was represented as black, as well as she makes love to the black Jesus in the video. The video caused even more trouble for Madonna as Pepsi withdrew their sponsorship which meant Madonna lost money.
