The Parisian Blasphemy and the Sacred Heart of Jesus
The Catholic Thing ^ | July 30, 2024 | Fr. Thomas Weinandy

Posted on 07/30/2024 4:45:33 AM PDT by FlyingEagle

Many people, including Catholic bishops and numerous Christians throughout the world, have condemned the blasphemous event that took place during the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics in Paris. As almost everyone now knows, there was a mocking display of the Last Supper where Jesus was portrayed as an obese female dressed in white. She was surrounded by a gaggle of drag queen “apostles,” and a young girl was also – we should worry why? – included in this hypersexualized and sacrilegious depiction.

Amidst all the condemnations and claims of the display’s offensiveness, what has not been stated, even by Christians, is that those who planned, orchestrated, and perpetrated such a blasphemous portrayal, unless they repent, will not die a happy death. At the very moment of their death, they will be about to face the very one that they blasphemously mocked and demeaned. And contrary to the sentimentalized Christianity of many today, Scripture itself tells us that He will be their judge – the holy and risen Lord Jesus Christ.

Moreover, God the Father will not allow His beloved incarnate Son, Jesus Christ, to be blasphemed. France, and particularly Paris, and maybe even the Olympic games themselves, will not go unpunished. Jesus declared to his disciples: “‘Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin’ – for they had said, ‘He has an unclean spirit.’” (Mark 3:28-30)

Although all sins can be forgiven, even blasphemy against God, yet to blaspheme against the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven. What is this blasphemy against the Spirit and why can’t it be forgiven?…..

He goes on to say in the excellent article:

“Jesus of Nazareth, the Holy One of God, destroyed Satan’s dominion of sin and death. To this day, Satan and his demonic thugs, demons and human beings alike, continue to seek revenge, and they do so by fermenting blasphemy against him. This demonic provocation was fully on display in Paris at the Olympic opening ceremony – a demonic liturgical rite.“

The gay Christian hater who created this blasphemy was goaded by demonic
forces to present his perversions before the world under the pretext of "inclusion."

Some things should not be “included”.

Have they too condemned the GOPs embrace of chemical abortion?? Weak kneed Vance said the Supreme Court made him support it.
Is it not blasphemy to embrace a party that embraces homosexuality, transgenderism, abortion and unequal unblind justice.
Embracing the sacrifice of children because my grocery bill is too high or the border is open? I will never support a national GOP and I will not be silenced by demagoguery.
You won’t stand before the supreme out on judgement day.

I will never support a national GOP...

National GOP aside, in most cases, Christians vote for the least of 2 evils because no candidate is perfect.

I live in PA. A U.S. Senate seat is open here. Bob Casey Jr. is a godless ultra liberal democrat as reflected in his positions.

David McCormick is a pro-life republican challenger and supports exceptions in the case of rape, incest, and saving the life of the mother.

There are Christians who do not want any exception that allows abortion. Some of them will choose not to vote for McCormick because his position(s) do not meet their own. I think this is a mistake!

Christians voting for Dave McCormick over Bob Casey Jr. is a no-brainer. His pro-life position is reasonable and him being elected will add another republican vote in the Senate. For Christians who choose not to vote for McCormick, I say their no-vote is actually a vote for Bob Casey Jr.

Lesbian Pictured in blasphemous Paris Olympics Opening Takes
Legal Action After “Death Threats” Over Last Supper Mockery

IOC Publicity called the tableau “La Cène Sur Un Scène
Sur La Seine – (The Last Supper Staged On The Seine)”

Lesbian Barbara Butch has said she is the target of rape and torture threats from viewers who thought her segment of the Paris Olympics’ opening ceremony resembled Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘The Last Supper.’

BY LILY FORD, hollywoodreporter.com, JULY 30, 2024 7:33AM

pic-—French DJ and activist Barbara Butch. COURTESY OF GETTY

A French DJ and LGBTQ+ rights icon said she has filed police reports over targeted death threats for her participation in a section of the Paris Olympics opening ceremony where comparisons were drawn to Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper. During the four-hour ceremony on Friday, drag queens and dancers at one point struck poses along a long table as Barbara Butch DJed in the center. A person painted sparkly blue, singing in French, was resting on a dinner platter in front. Some social media users said the image resembled the Christian-revered portrait of Jesus Christ and his 12 apostles before he was crucified, which became the center of swift backlash

US House Speaker Mike Johnson, French far-right politician Marion Maréchal and Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker were among those berating the tableau. “Last night’s mockery of The Last Supper was shocking and insulting to Christian people around the world,” Johnson said on X.

Organizers shared photos of the Paris tableau, noting that it was meant to reference the Greek god Dionysus. The suing DJ had posted a photo of her haloed headdress before the event with a caption describing her costume as an “OLYMPIAN MUSIC GODDESS (since deleted).”

On Monday, she said she has faced “an extremely violent campaign of cyber-harassment and defamation” in response to her appearance in the ceremony. In a statement from Audrey Msellati, her attorney, Butch shared on Instagram: “Since the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, artist DJ, and activist Barbara Butch… has been threatened with death, torture and rape, and has also been the target of numerous anti-Semitic, homophobic, sexist and grossophobic insults.” Adding, “Barbara Butch condemns this vile hatred directed at her, what she represents, and what she stands for.” Msellati says that Butch has filed “several complaints” against these acts, whether committed by French nationals or foreigners, and intends to prosecute “anyone who tries to intimidate her in the future.”

Thomas Jolly, the gay Jewish artistic director of the Olympics Opening Ceremony, defended the performance during a news conference on Saturday. When asked about the criticism, he said he wanted to display “inclusion.” Spokesperson Anne Descamps said that “clearly there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group … If people have taken any offense we are really sorry.”

IOC sends a message of love, a message of inclusion; they called it:
“La Cène Sur Un Scène Sur La Seine – (The Last Supper Staged On The Seine)”

The International Olympics Committee is in full-on damage control over its blasphemous Paris opening ceremony. The IOC has apologized and deleted it from its YouTube channel. These elites would like everyone to forget what a global television audience saw: a filthy mockery of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ, featuring drag queens as the disciples, and Barbara Butch, an obese lesbian DJ, as Our Lord.

“Oh yes! Oh yes! The New Gay Testament!” lesbo Butch later messaged on Instagram. Underscoring the point, that tableau vivant was titled, in punning French, La Cène Sur Un Scène Sur La Seine – that is, The Last Supper Staged On The Seine.

The satanic parody feast featured as its blasphemous Eucharist a priapic Smurf meant to represent Dionysius—the Greek god of debauchery. According to a tumescent AP account, the blue Greek god pointed to his penis and sang, in French, “Where to hide a revolver when you’re completely naked?”

Thomas Jolly, the gay French theatrical director who conceived this vulgar abomination, said, “My wish isn’t to be subversive, nor to mock or to shock. Most of all, I wanted to send a message of love, a message of inclusion and not at all to divide.”

There are people stupid enough to believe that.

But even the leader of France’s far left, the anti-clerical Jean-Luc Mélenchon, is not one of them. In a blog post, Mélenchon condemned the revolting event as shaming the nation.

“We were speaking to the world that evening,” Mélenchon wrote. “Among the billion Christians in the world, how many good and honest people are there for whom faith provides help in living and knowing how to participate in everyone’s life, without bothering anyone?”

Gay blade Jolly rogered the good faith of Christians the world over, and knew exactly what he was doing.

So too did everyone at the IOC and in the French government who approved this thing. It is impossible to believe that this trashy LGBT mockery of Christianity didn’t get a sign-off at the highest level. This was Paris’s chance to present itself to the world, and they wouldn’t dare leave anything to chance.

What the world saw was a transgressive homosexual romp and stomp across what Christians hold sacred. France’s elites signaled to the planet that it sacralizes homosexuality, transgenderism, sexual excess, and blasphemy. The Paris Olympics overture was a floor show for the Antichrist.

Nobody will resist contemporary “barbarians” to defend a civilizational order that places the sexually disordered at its symbolic pinnacle. Ordinary Frenchmen might fight for the Blessed Virgin Mary, or for Marianne, the symbol of the Republic, or at least for Brigitte Bardot. But fight for obese lesbo Barbara Butch? Please.

Symbolism matters. National symbols concentrate and proclaim what a nation thinks of itself, and how it wants other nations to think of it. Speaking of the Olympics opening ceremony debacle the night before, Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán noted archly, “At the end of the day, every nation has the right to show its true colors; that’s what we saw.”

And in the foreground there was “Blue Scrotum”, (un)dressed for dinner.

The fact that his male bits were also painted blue seems to indicate they were meant to be shown.

In fact, the blue man also sang a song about his privates while pointing to them

The French have always worshiped “intellect” and “intellectuals” since the days of the French Revolution.

Most of their “Intellectuals” were insane moral idiots and sociopaths.
