“To all the Christians of the world who are watching the Paris 2024
ceremony and felt insulted by this drag queen parody of the Last Supper,
know that it is not France that is speaking but a left-wing minority ready

that was echoed by religious conservatives internationally.

events are really the FIRST two things that spring to mind when you think

posted on X, also referencing a scene depicting the beheading of Marie Antoinette.
Thomas Jolly, the artistic director of the opening ceremony, afterward
drew attention away from “The Last Supper” references, saying that hadn't
been his intention.
