Olympic Opening Ceremony Director Claims Drag Last Supper Not Inspired by Bible but a ‘Great Pagan Festival’
Breitbart ^

Posted on 07/29/2024 6:53:59 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

The artistic director of the LBGT-themed Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony has claimed he did not intend to portray the Last Supper after an apparent parody of the Biblical event drew outrage from Christians across the world.

Thomas Jolly, the artistic director of the Olympic Opening Ceremony, denied on Sunday that he was not “inspired” by the Last Supper, despite the striking similarities between the Leonardo da Vinci depiction of the Jesus Christ’s Last Supper with his 12 Apostles and the drag queen tableau shown at the opening of the Paris games.

“You will never find in me any desire to mock, or to denigrate anything. I wanted to do a ceremony that repairs, that reconciles, that reaffirms the values of our Republic,” Jolly said in comments reported by Le Figaro.

My take: the amount of explaining (don't believe your lying eyes) just confirms that the purpose was to denigrate Christianity.

If the intention were to avoid mocking or denigrating, the choreography could have been changed out of sensitivity.

And although many clergy have denounced that grotesque display, one voice has been conspicuously silent. Clue: he just had Cardinal Vigano excommunicated.

This guy is French. In his own bizarre, convoluted, twisted, sick way, he may actually believe this.

What kind of low-lifes would stage a ‘Great Pagan Festival’ for a global audience?

“he just had Cardinal Vigano excommunicated”

I just read that. Here’s the statement from Cardinal Vigano (very interesting):

This is a reply from Mel Gibson (yes the actor):

"What kind of low-lifes would stage a ‘Great Pagan Festival’ for a global audience?"

The same type that insist on reading stories to children while dressed in drag.
The bigger question for me: what type of low lifes "in charge" thought proceeding with it was appropriate?

I that why you had your joy-boys tearing up books and trashing the Bibliothèque Nationale de France?

The olympics is dead to us. The **** with them and their silly “games”. We’d rather watch paint dry.

How many were sitting at the table in that travesty?

BS. No way he did not know. Boycott Olympics. Sorry athletes you will have to demand better and that the ceremony behind it is sports related only or YOU will stay home.

The whole thing over there is cheesy and nasty except....for the elites who attend the bread and circus from the peanut gallery who get all the special treatment France can offer.

It doesn’t need an “explanation”. It is very clear what was taking place.

Quote
I think it was quite clear, there is Dionysus who arrives on this table. He is there, why? Because he is the god of the festival… of wine, and father of Sequana, the goddess connected to the river.”

“The idea was rather to make a great pagan festival linked to the gods of Olympus,” he said.
.....

So, false gods and pagan festival depicted at Babylonian Olympics..
