Why?

Paris Olympic Games 2024 opening ceremony                 Source: X (Twitter)

The above image is taken from one of a number of  Twitter entries showing a parody of The Last Supper in the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic games in Paris.

A video is included an article by Must Read Alaska with the comment "The opening ceremony for the Paris Olympics is one long drag show."

It certainly was a change from the customary format designed to show off Paris but diversity bordered on deviancy.

Founded on love and forgiveness, Christianity is an easy target that has been used by feminists, Islamists and others to further their own cause. 

Why the Olympic movement allowed itself to be similarly used deserves an explanation.

Postscript [28.07.2024]

Two interventions in the House of Lords on the threat to our Christian heritage:

Lord Pearson talks about the threat of Islamic terrorism. People that do, are accused of Islamophobia. 
He says its the "the modern world's most violent religious ideology". 

“It’s likely children born today to an indigenous British couple will find themselves in a minority in our country by the time they reach their late 40s, yes, my Lords, a minority in their own country”
