Step 1 : Introduction to the question "While appearing on Saturday Night Live, which singer tore up a photo of the pope? "
On Madonna's appearance on SNL, after singing "Bad Girl", she held up a photo of Joey Buttafuoco and, saying "fight the real enemy", tore it up. Madonna also roundly attacked O'Connor in the press for the incident, telling the Irish Times: "I think there is a better way to present her ideas rather than ripping up an image that means a lot to other people."
