ROME — The Vatican said this weekend it was “saddened” by the drag queen parody of the Last Supper on display during the July 26 opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, after critics complained loudly over the Vatican’s prolonged silence on the matter.

“The Holy See is saddened by some scenes of the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games and cannot but join the voices that have been raised in recent days to deplore the offense done to many Christians and believers of other religions,” it said in a statement.

“In a prestigious event where the whole world comes together around common values, there should be no allusions that ridicule the religious convictions of many people,” the statement said.

I guess Francis had to think about it...

[rktman]

He probably liked it but......

[cgbg]

The anti-Pope loved it.

Now he gets to lie about it.

Win win.

For Satan.

[brownsfan]

Must have pained him to criticize his friends.

The Pope has replaced being led by the Word of God and scripture with:

It didn’t seem like condemnation on Christian grounds. Just that it made some people feel bad.

But haven’t we heard that some Vatican officials have much more blasphemous art in their apartments? The Pope may just not have noticed something as mild as profaning the holy sacrament of communion when he sees more graphic blasphemy all around him. “Meh, this is mild stuff.”

That only took a week and a half!
Pathetic scum! But shutdown Latin mass somewhere, and he’s right on it!
DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Naaah, like with the decisions of BeijingBiden, the dosh bag was too small and too late.

Criminals and degenerates need to recognize that when “their betters” demand a bribe, they mean NOW!

[rwa265]

That would assume the Pope is blowing in the wind. The reality is he is leading by his own distorted interpretation of the Word of God and scripture, even if it is against the wind.

Surprised they didn’t take the it has nothing to do with Da Vinci’s Last Supper tack. I guess the push back was a little too much to ignore.

I remember the Pope saying “we should build bridges not walls” and returning to the walled vatican city.

"and cannot but join the voices that have been raised in recent days to deplore the offense done to many Christians and believers of other religions"

There is the problem right there.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

He had much more important things to do - like condemning Global Warming and populism - before he got around to defending Christianity.

Vatican "Art"

This Audience Hall in the Vatican is a real place. I am not making this up.

[so_real]

"Saddened"? Saddened??? How about a little righteous anger?

[NorthMountain]

The Holy See is saddened

"Saddened"?

"SADDENED"?????

What about "outraged"?

Hmmmm???

Righteous anger is the correct response to the IOC's blasphemy.

And what too you guys so long? You're supposed to be leaders!

[NorthMountain]

[Harpotoo]

Just like fjb a dollar short and a day late!
