The Vatican Condemns Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony
HuffPost
The Holy See said it deplored "the offense caused to many Christians" after a scene involving drag queens prompted outrage.
The Vatican has joined the chorus of conservative outrage over the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.
In a statement released more than a week after the festivities, the Holy See appeared to target a segment interpreted by some as drag queens mocking Christianity in a parody of “The Last Supper.”
The scene generated claims of sacrilege from Harrison Butker, Donald Trump Jr., Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and other conservative figures.
“The Holy See was saddened by certain scenes in the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Paris and can only join the voices that have been raised in recent days to deplore the offense caused to many Christians and believers of other religions,” the Vatican said in a statement on Saturday, per the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
“In a prestigious event where the whole world gathers around common values, there should be no allusions that ridicule the religious convictions of many people,” the statement continued.
