The whole pope photo kerfuffle

October 3, 1992
Sinead O’Connor was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. At the end of her a capella performance of the Bob Marley song War, Sinead produced a copy of a photograph of Pope John Paul II, which she ripped into pieces, to protest the simmering child sex abuse scandal within the Catholic Church.

Time has proven Sinead dead right about her protest.
