Paris Olympics Stir Controversy After Alleged Mockery of “The Last Supper”
The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics has sparked significant backlash, with numerous Christian leaders and bishops from around the world accusing the event of “gross mockery” and “disrespecting The Last Supper.” These criticisms have ignited a debate about the ceremony’s depiction and its implications.
In contrast, some public figures, including Jill Biden, have defended the ceremony. Biden described the event as “spectacular” in an interview with The Daily Wire on Saturday, suggesting that the controversy may be overstated.
In response to the backlash, the Paris Olympics organizers issued an apology this morning, expressing regret for any offense caused while defending the artistic intent behind the ceremony. The apology has done little to quell the controversy, as various influencers, politicians, bishops, and artists continue to express their concerns and suspicions about the ceremony’s intentions. As the debate continues, opinions remain divided.
