Like any other song, try to interpret the song in a way that suits you the best. Find out for yourself what it means for YOU...
In every show Madonna does perform this song, it has a religious theme. For me,...it mend that you have to find the divine godness in YOURSELF. Don't let religion fool you (me). Not every thing that the vatican says, has to be true...If the pope says that condems are forbidden, it doesn't mean that Jesus has (had) the same opinion as he does...
Because condems are forbidden by the catholics, aids will continue to spread out in Afrika, because they will do anything the pope says...
Maybe Madonna want's to say with this song that you have to think for yourself, and say to all the religious people, that YOU know they are wrong about this, and that you want to tell it to the world...
Tell them about all the children in the world, specially the children in the third world, that are dying unessesary, because they think that their opinion is the only true one...
Maybe you realized that the tales you heard in church weren't the true ones, and you hope that you live long enough to tell everyone that it's a little different than they were told...
Just look at Madonna's version of Live to tell from her "Confessions" tour, and maybe you'll know what I mean...
But again: interpret ANY song for in a way that is the best for YOU...'cause that what music is all about...
@hurmie I honestly feel like you are reading too much into it, but you're right to say song can be interpreted many ways. That's part of what makes a beautiful song, the ambiguity. Even if a song has a primary meaning, you can see other meaning in it and in that way it really speaks to YOU.

However, I just don't really see this theme in the song; I feel it is mainly about sexual abuse, but that is just my opinion.
