Part of it for me is that the "classic Madonna theme of religion and sex" is a bit BORING - at least when expressly addressed. Never been religious, let alone Catholic - why do I care?
In this case it's an excellent pop song despite the theme though - but not as great as her earlier stuff (I really don't agree that she's "more interesting" in the Like A Prayer era than before: she's more self-consciously autobiographical but the interestingness is there from the beginning)
