There has been criticism over this performance of hers and her latest explanation as to its significance is not even logical, I feel. There is no connection between it and the visual image portrayed. It is a poor attempt indeed, for a Roman Catholic herself.
As a Roman Catholic, I am deeply turned off by this. She is evidently making fun of our Lord's love for us, even if it was unconsciously. I think even if she was an atheist, she should have been more sensitive to such a fundamental doctrine of Christianity.
"A plea for people to help one another" doesn't seem relevant to this and "taking up the cross" is inaccurately quoted, since it is not referring to solely a physical form of doing so. She brought up the problem of starvation in Africa for people out there to open their hearts to but this attempted sense of compassion and generosity she is trying to imbue doesn't link up to the true meaning of the crucifixion, which is God's selfless love for humanity. She has obviously misconstrued it and omitted the essential role of divinity in this.
