A drag queen-led parody of the Last Supper featured during Friday’s opening ceremonies of the 2024 Paris Olympics has sparked a wave of incensed reactions and denunciations.
One of the best known prelates of the Catholic Church in the United States, Bishop Robert Barron of Minnesota, called on Catholics to “make their voices heard” in response to what he called “the gross mockery of the Last Supper.”
In a post on X, Bishop Barron said the blasphemous act was emblematic of a “deeply secularist postmodern society” that identifies Christianity as its enemy.
Meanwhile, in reparation for the blasphemy, Bishop Donald Hying of Madison, Wisconsin, immediately called on all Catholics to “fast and pray, renew our devotion to the Eucharist, the Sacred Heart and the Virgin Mary.”
“May Jesus be adored and loved in every tabernacle throughout the world,” Bishop Hying added in a post on X in which he thanked the Lord for the Eucharist, the Last Supper and his “love for us.”
Bishop Daniel Flores of Brownsville, Texas was also quick to share his reaction, stating “My vocabulary is not varied enough to find a word for the feeling in the pit of my stomach” and asserting that people of Christian faith “deserve more respect.”
Bishop Flores’ sentiments were also echoed by non-Christians. “Even as a Jew, I am infuriated by this outrageous insult to Jesus and Christianity,” said Dr. Eli David. He panned the opening ceremonies as reflecting a Europe that is “culturally dying.”
The world’s materially richest man, Elon Musk, also called the spectacle “extremely disrespectful to Christians.”

homosexuals and perverts mocking God
Its been a constant in human existence since, well, forever.
Let’s see them mock Mohammed like that. Cowards.
Drag rendition of "The Last Supper" from last night's Olympic opening ceremony:
Is THAT what that was supposed to be? I only saw draggers.
The Olympics is past its “sell by” date. I really don’t want it here. Enough is enough.
By design. On purpose, rehearsed, and in your face.
Dear Dr. David,
from the depth of my heart I would like to say thank you for your stepping into the breach for ordinary Christians - like little me. 😀👍🏻✡️🇮🇱
Jews and Christians together, united we stand, divided we fall✡️✝️
Just the mere thought of drag queens is all we need to know about them making their voices heard. They are an abomination.
The olympic games were fine until they went woke- lgbtq spoiled disney land for many, now the olympics spoiling the games for many- The left just are not happy unless they are making people miserable
I wasn’t going to watch the Olympics anyways.
and they openly celebrate their abominations and demand that society accept the abominations are normal-
Dear Dr. David,
from the depth of my heart I would like to say thank you for your stepping into the breach for ordinary Christians - like little me. 😀👍🏻✡️🇮🇱
Jews and Christians together, united we stand, divided we fall✡️✝️
May HaShem bless us all!

France needs a new “Maid of Orleans”
It is a shame that you are correct. I could not possibly care less about the oilympics or sports in general.
