I'm not going to get into the details of the disgusting mockery of the Last Supper perpetrated by those responsible for the opening ceremonies of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Let it suffice to say that the blasphemous display was perfectly in keeping with the evil times in which we live. So I congratulate the Paris Olympics Committee for providing an unmistakable public proof of just how vulgar and odious French culture has become, and broadcasting it to the wide world.
That said, there is a social media trope out there that maintains that the tawdry performance was not meant to ridicule the Last Supper at all. That it was, instead, merely an attempt to mimic a well-known French painting showing the pagan gods at a Bacchanalian. Those who can not appreciate this homage to French art—so the trope goes—as performed by a bunch of overweight men prancing around in their granny's flapper garb, are ignorant, uneducated, intolerant, overly-sensitive, and otherwise bad people who can be safely ignored.
I took the time to research and respond to one such post that showed up in my feed. I am recording my findings here for posterity because I fully expect that my response will be summarily deleted by the original poster or memory-holed on the particular social media platform where I posted it.
For the record, the original painting was by a Dutchman, Jan Harmensz van Biljert, not a Frenchman. And the painting, The Feast of the Gods, is itself pretty clearly a parody of da Vinci's Last Supper, but with a Bacchanalian twist.
Furthermore, someone at Paris2024 apparently admitted to Washington Times reporter Valerie Richardson that the insipid performance was, in fact, "inspired" by the Last Supper.
If you need more evidence of the intentionality of this cheap shot at Christians, and the subsequent lying about it, screenshots of later-deleted posts by folks involved may be found here: Lying about the Olympic Last Supper a sign of our times.
May St. Genevieve, St. Louis, St. Joan, and St. Therese pray for France which has fallen down.
Thomas Jolly has now become the Farter of the Froggy Olympdics. A skit of France getting its butt kicked by the Nazis during WWII would have been a lot funnier.
The Cult of Ugly knows no boundaries.
They’ve used every excuse to defend the indefensible except mental retardation.
Exposes the misguided agenda of these accursed individuals.
we were supposed to “cheer” this handful of degenerates mocking the world’s beliefs.
They dont fit in with rest of us so we have to pay for their peculiarities.
One of these dumb bozos is even suing for being left out.
The absence of brain cells in these misgendered malcontents is acute.
Their refusal to acknowledge an atrocity the entire world condemned
only reinforces why these odious imbeciles must be called to account.
The intention was to fully and completely show disrespect. They sicko showing his ball right behind the little kid should be in jail facing charges.
During a tour in Austria, our guide said that the only victors to march through the Arc de Triomphe were the Germans in WWII
Maybe the trans will recreate that for the Olympics closing ceremonies…
I’m not offended, upset, or shocked.
Disgust is the word that comes to mind.
But I expect no less from God denying, Christ hating, degenerates.
They answer to GOD for that mockery, not me.
And they will. Betcha they won’t be laughing at Him for long.
I finally saw the white horse 🐎 on the Seine river
Looked like the Antichrist riding in on his white horse from Revelation 6:2
Meanwhile......
The *artiste* types have been degenerates for centuries.
I can live without what they laud as entertainment and *art*.
The Pieta?
THAT is art.
Along with other works of that era.
Most of the rest since then, is trash.
Those who are stupid enough to allow themselves to succumb to the decay deserve and will receive the scorn and opprobrium of intelligent, benevolent people everywhere and eternally.
Did you see this one?
An accidental image of THE BEAST Antichrist from Revelation 6:2.
(Rider on the white horse 🐎)
Free publicity for the pervs.
Many thanks for clarifying that for the misinformed......kudos.
The very fact they referred to di Vinci’s famous painting initially went over very badly with the general public. So much so the Olympic organizers banned the video of the Opening Ceremony online just about everywhere.
