Cardinal Burke condemns Paris Olympics opening appearing to parody Last Supper: 'Theater of Satan'
Fox News
Roman Catholic Church official Cardinal Raymond Burke had a scathing condemnation of the display at the Paris Olympics many argue was parodying "The Last Supper."
The display featured a group of drag queens and flamboyant performers all lined up along one side of a long table, with one in a halo crown posing in the center. According to news outlet France 24, the scene’s choreographer, Thomas Jolly, has denied the allegations that he was mocking Christianity and was instead trying to show "a big pagan party linked to the gods of Olympus," but many art and religious experts remain unconvinced.

CatholicVote reported on Wednesday that Cardinal Burke had mentioned the Opening Ceremony scene in his homily for a Mass celebrating the 16th anniversary of the dedication of the church at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin, on July 31.
