Bishop Barron Criticizes Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony for 'Obscene Mockery' of Christianity
Jul 27, 2024, 05:08 PM
Catholic Bishop Robert Barron has criticized the Paris Olympics' opening ceremony for its depiction of the Last Supper, calling it an 'obscene mockery' and a 'gross mockery' of Christianity. The ceremony featured a drag performance that has sparked widespread backlash from various Christian leaders and communities. Bishop Barron questioned whether the organizers would have dared to mock Islam in a similar way. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has responded by issuing DCMA takedown requests to thousands of videos critical of the event on social media platforms, including deleting their own YouTube uploads. NBC has also issued copyright strikes to halt criticism.
