The Woke French Win The Gold Medal For Mockery

The largest religion in the world today is Christianity with 2.4 billion followers, comprising 31% of the total population of the planet. In second place is Islam, with approximately 2 billion followers.

Even though it is the largest religion in the world, Christianity is often attacked in the mainstream media and in popular culture. It happened again during a disgusting display at the opening ceremonies of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

French organizers thought it was a clever idea to make a satirical spectacle of Leonardo da Vinciโ€™s famous painting of The Last Supper. Filling the role of the apostles were drag queens, including one who was partially naked, a transgender model, a singer dressed as a Greek god and a child. Representing Jesus was a scantily clad overweight woman in an outrageous costume.

Drag Queens and other performers gathered around the table for a recreation of the DaVinci painting 

For many Christians, the presentation was incredibly sacrilegious and a blatant attack on the religion. The Deputy Prime Minister of Italy, Matteo Salvini, labeled the performance โ€œsleazyโ€ and noted that โ€œOpening the Olympics by insulting billions of Christians across the world was a really bad start.โ€

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) blasted the opening ceremonies as a โ€œmockery of The Last Supper.โ€ He said it was โ€œshocking and insulting to Christian people around the world.โ€ Johnson also lamented that โ€œThe war on our faith and traditional values knows no bounds today.โ€

Of course, the French defended the opening ceremonies. The spokesperson for the Paris Olympics, Anne Descamps, said โ€œthere was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group.โ€ She claimed that the intention of the opening ceremony was to โ€œcelebrate community toleranceโ€ and insisted their goals were โ€œachieved.โ€ For the critics of the ceremonies, Descamps said โ€œIf people have taken any offence, we are really sorry.โ€

Well, the French were not sorry at all, for example, the Artistic Director of the Paris Olympics, Thomas Jolly, defended his โ€œsleazyโ€ show. He said the opening ceremonies focused on โ€œinclusion,โ€ and โ€œdiversityโ€ and โ€œartistic freedom.โ€ Jolly stated that critics raised โ€œquestionsโ€ and attacked the ceremonies because he included โ€œeveryoneโ€ and did not โ€œexclude anyone.โ€

Mr. Jolly, the โ€œquestionsโ€ stem from your decision to use a peculiar collection of performers to ridicule the worldโ€™s largest religion. Media personality Piers Morgan said it was an โ€œappalling decisionโ€ to mock The Last Supper. He also asked an important question, โ€œWould they have mocked any other religion like this?โ€

The answer is a categorical โ€œNo!โ€ These so-called โ€œartistsโ€ expressing their โ€œfreedomโ€ would have been too scared to attack Islam. As Morgan wondered, โ€œImagine if theyโ€™d mocked Islam like this.โ€ Any type of similar attack upon Islam would have been met with severe consequences.

The only religion that the cultural elite is comfortable mocking is Christianity. It is regularly done with almost no consequences as Christians have been reluctant to respond.

Fortunately, this nonchalant attitude might finally be changing. C-Spire, a Mississippi based phone service company, posted on social media, โ€œWe were shocked by the mockery of the Last Supper during the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics. C Spire will be pulling its advertising from the Olympics.โ€

The companyโ€™s decision was praised by Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves, who said, โ€œGod will not be mocked. C Spire drew a common-sense, appropriate line.โ€ Hopefully, this courageous decision will be followed by others in the corporate world. The Christian hating elites must pay some economic price for their mockery, or it will continue.

Joining in the outrage was French European Parliament member Marion Marรฉchal who claimed the presentation was โ€œnot France,โ€ but โ€œa left-wing minority ready for any provocation.โ€ The French Bishopsโ€™ Conference blasted the โ€œmockery of Christianityโ€ and expressed solidarity with โ€œall Christians on all continents who have been hurt by the outrage and provocation of certain scenes.โ€

Other Catholic leaders expressed their fury at the sacrilegious Olympic display. Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester called on Catholics to โ€œmake their voices heardโ€ in response to the โ€œgross mockery of the Last Supper.โ€

Archbishop Fernando Chomali of Santiago, Chile called the performance a โ€œgrotesque parody of the most sacred thing we Catholics have, the Eucharist.โ€ He added, โ€œThe intolerance of the โ€˜tolerantโ€™ has no limit. This is not the way to build a fraternal society. We witnessed nihilism at its maximum expression.โ€

Father Fray Nelson Medina, a Colombian Dominican priest, said the display was so offensive he โ€œwill not watch a single scene from the Olympic Games.โ€ He said that the opening ceremony was โ€œdisgustingโ€ and lamented that it mocked โ€œthe Lord Jesus Christ and his supreme gift of love.โ€

Father Medina also remarked that members of the Paris 2024 committee were โ€œcowards: they wouldnโ€™t mess with Muhammad.โ€ Of course, Father Media is right, only Christians bear the brunt of such attacks.

Nonetheless, the gaudy display was praised by Catholic First Lady Jill Biden, who called the show โ€œspectacular.โ€ In addition, French President Emmanuel Macron heaped compliments on the opening ceremonies. He said the performance โ€œmade our compatriots extremely proudโ€ and claimed that the artists and athletes delivered a โ€œgreat spectacle.โ€

In response, we must ask why such a โ€œspectacleโ€ was necessary to begin the event? The Olympic games are an athletic competition that supposedly are used to โ€œbring the world together.โ€ This is purportedly a unifying event, not one that attacks followers of the worldโ€™s largest religion.

Sadly, the radical elitists want to push their agenda at every opportunity. Whether it is a movie, a sporting event, or an advertisement, no chance is missed to browbeat people to accept their radical cultural agenda.

For the opening ceremonies, most viewers undoubtedly believed they were going to watch a wholesome event. Some may have allowed their children to watch. Instead of family friendly entertainment, they were subjected to drag queens, transgender performers, nudity, and religious attacks, all in the name of artistic freedom.

Speaking of freedom, let us hope viewers use it to turn off the Olympics and send these insufferable elitists a resounding message.
