OLYMPIC LGBTQ SHOW PICKED ON CHRISTIANS NOT ISLAM

 

To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address, FB Messenger or X (Twitter).







The perpetrators of that monstrous blasphemy against Almighty God in the Olympic Games opening ceremony in Paris might have chosen Islam to insult, rather than Christianity. The shocking image above eloquently explains why they did not. 


The LGBTQ++, transgender ideology, being Marxist at its evil heart, is totalitarian, anti-Catholic - and cowardly.  Cowardice is characteristic of bullies; Thomas Jolly, the homosexual Jew who masterminded this affront not just to common decency but especially to Our Lord in the Eucharist, and his sad assembly of perverted souls like the lesbian Barbara Butch - also Jewish -  chose to abuse 2 billion people whose loving God forbids them to retaliate as Muslims certainly would.


But Catholics should be angry now. Justifiably angry. Not to be angry in a right-ordered way at blasphemy, says St Thomas Aquinas, is a sin because blasphemy offends God directly. Compared to blasphemy, every other sin is slight. 


Who in their right mind doesn't get angry when their Father is held up to ridicule on the world stage? When their Brother who saved their eternal life is mocked by perverts? If Antipope Bergoglio is angry, if New Zealand's bishops are angry, they're not saying so. Elon Musk is angry; Donald Trump is angry; Cardinal Müller and San Francisco's Archbishop Cordileone are angry. Elon Musk has said, inter alia, “[u]nless there is more bravery to stand up for what is fair and right, Christianity will perish.” 



'Blood' pouring from headless Marie Antoinettes pours into the Seine



Certainly Christianity, especially Catholicism, is under attack worldwide. Catholics of the sort nourished by Holy Mother Church for centuries are under attack within the Church itself, from Francis, the man it calls pope, himself.  Today, faithful Catholics are mocked - not just in Paris but in Rome, in the Holy See. Tomorrow we may be martyred. Today we're white martyrs; tomorrow we may be red as the 'blood' the latter-day revolutionaries (with not-so-subtle symbolism) poured into the Seine last Friday night. 


Prepare for sainthood now, with prayer, penance and alms-giving, always remembering the spiritual works of mercy, which are:

  • To instruct the ignorant ;
  • To counsel the doubtful ;
  • To admonish sinners ;
  • To bear wrongs patiently;
  • To forgive offences willingly;
  • To comfort the afflicted;
  • To pray for the living and the dead.



The day after the Olympic opening ceremonies



It would be fair to say, however, that the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church is looking like a push-over right now. There's a Jihad (Holy War) well underway in Western Europe, where Catholic churches are attacked and desecrated with impunity, mostly by illegal Muslim immigrants, and nowhere more than in France, the Eldest Daughter of the Church. https://www.meforum.org/65244/growing-jihad-on-churches-in-france


In July 2023, for instance, Muslims attacked and desecrated several churches in France, by breaking the doors and windows of one church and spray-painting anti-Jesus and pro-Muhammad graffiti on its walls. The men also torched at least two historic churches — a 16th century church in Drosnay, and the 12th century Saint-Georges De La Haye-Descartes church — after general riots prompted by the June 27 police shooting of Nahel Merzouk, a Muslim criminal.


Not only did French authorities pretend that these two heritage churches simply "caught fire" — "probably due to a storm" — but they insisted that it was the police killing that prompted otherwise peaceful Muslims to riot at all.

Meanwhile, in the U S, Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump - a Christian who recently was himself the victim of an assassination attempt - has called out his likely Democratic opponent, Vice-President Kamala Harris, for her record of animosity towards Catholic Americans. Donald Trump Slams Kamala Harris for Targeting Christians - LifeNews.com



It looks like the Holy See has only one voice on the issue of the Olympics parody of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and that voice is Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia. +Paglia's the man who had a homoerotic, blasphemous mural painted in his cathedral depicting Our Lord and Saviour carrying nets to heaven filled with naked and semi-nude homosexuals, transsexuals, prostitutes, and drug dealers, jumbled together in erotic interactions. +Paglia’s response was predictably much more conciliatory than those of some other bishops. 


“The mockery of the Last Supper at the #OlympicsParis2024, rightly deplored by @Eglisecatho, [French Catholic bishops’ conference] reveals a profound question," he wrote.


That “profound question” +Paglia described as being that “everyone, but really everyone, wants to sit at that table where Jesus gives life for all and teaches love.”https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pope-francis-silent-on-olympic-opening-scandal-while-scandal-plagued-vatican-archbishop-def

 The often scandalous Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia has issued a contradictory defense of the Olympic opening ceremony featuring a drag queen mockery of the Last Supper, while Pope Francis has remained notably silent about the incident.

In a social media post on July 27, Archbishop Paglia attempted to straddle both sides of the debate surrounding the Olympics’ infamous opening ceremony, which saw drag queens and dancers perform a mockery of the Last Supper, particularly appearing to faux-imitate Leonardo da Vinci’s “Last Supper” painting. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pope-francis-silent-on-olympic-opening-scandal-while-scandal-plagued-vatican-archbishop-defends-it/#:~:text=The%20show%20was,prayers%20from%20Catholics.

 


Bishop Paglia sees himself as being taken by Christ to heaven ... 



Francis made no mention of the Olympic opening ceremony during his Angelus, while nevertheless making a number of special mentions for causes and celebrations around the world.

In fact, Francis did make mention of the Olympics generally but in reference to hunger and arms production. His comments were:

And while there are many people in the world who suffer due to disasters and hunger, we continue to produce and sell weapons and burn resources fueling wars, large and small. This is an outrage that the international community should not tolerate, and it contradicts the spirit of brotherhood of the Olympic Games that have just begun. Let us not forget, brothers and sisters: war is defeat!

Paglia, appointed by Pope Francis as the president of the now scandal-plagued Pontifical Academy for Life, is a notable Vatican official. His Pontifical Academy for Life has been mired by controversy, often spear-led by him personally, regarding the Catholic Church’s moral teaching.


Spain’s Bishop José Munilla termed the show “blasphemous & deplorable,” and added that “[o]ur culture is giving its last breaths in the midst of woke decadence.”

“Fundamentalist Islamism rubs its hands together seeing how we ourselves ‘commit suicide’ spiritually and physically,” Bishop Munilla added.

To this is added the declaration of Cardinal Gerhard Müller, who attested that by the “sacrilegious and vulgar representation” the Olympics body “has managed in one fell swoop to sully the noble face of the Olympics and to offend millions of believers around the world.”

Nor has the reaction to the drag queen ceremony been limited to religious figures, an aspect that makes the Pope’s silence even more striking.

 

U S House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that “[t]he war on our faith and traditional values knows no bounds today,” and tech billionaire Elon Musk has issued a number of criticisms, including the warning that “[u]nless there is more bravery to stand up for what is fair and right, Christianity will perish.”

PARIS OLYMPICS GO BONKERS, BLASPHEMOUS


To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address FB Messenger or X (Twitter).



Thomas Jolly




 "Grandiose." Even French President Emmanuel Macron was less than complimentary about the opening ceremony of his country's Olympic Games. Even though it was he who rewrote “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" to include "Fierté,” which translates to liberty, fraternity, equality, pride, making what was merely masonic ideology positively demonic. And what the world saw in Paris as a result was called by Christians everywhere, "blasphemous", "grotesque", "crazy", "humiliating." 


"Seemingly satanic," said Donald Trump, while the French Bishops deplored “scenes of derision and mockery of Christianity”, and said “our thoughts are with all the Christians from all continents who were hurt by the outrage and provocation of certain scenes.”


Donald Trump was far more to the point than the bishops of the country once revered as the Eldest Daughter of the Church. Their "thoughts" should surely go first to our Eucharistic Lord, insulted and blasphemed beyond belief in the eyes of the whole world.  What good are bishops' thoughts to Christians? Why not their prayers? Their reparations? Faithful Catholics everywhere must take up the slack, on their knees before Almighty God to implore His forgiveness for such insanity.


A reader of this blog who has been to Paris twice thanks God for the privilege and will never go again.  She'd be afraid of losing her life, expecting His chastisement to be visited on the city at any moment, and afraid that by going where He Who gave us eternal life has been so horribly dishonoured she would offend Him and lose that life.



Remember: the Novus Ordo post-Vat II Church has stopped praying for the Jewish people

 


“In France, we have the right to love each other, as we want and with who we want. In France, we have the right to believe or to not believe. In France, we have a lot of rights. Voila,” said the audacious show's artistic director, Thomas Jolly.


"Audacious" is the word for Jolly, as much as his show. More than most of those involved, who are likely demonically influenced, Thomas Jolly needs prayers for his repentance, healing and conversion. 


Paris didn't just push the envelope. It did away with it entirely as it hammered home a message that freedom must know no bounds.

 

A practically naked singer painted blue made thinly veiled references to his body parts. Blonde-bearded drag queen Piche crawled on all fours to the thumping beat of “Freed From Desire” by singer-songwriter Gala, who has long been a potent voice against homophobia.

 

Homophobia means fear of homosexuals rather than hate of same and it's a rational, reasonable emotion, only overcome by the love of Christ.  


There were the beginnings of a menage à trois — the door was slammed on the camera before things got really steamy — and the tail end of an intimate embrace between two men who danced away, hugging and holding hands.


Readers may think this is rubbing their noses in filth, but it can and certainly will get worse unless we realise the enormity of sin and resort more to God and the Immaculata for divine assistance, especially in the Mass so maligned by this wicked parody of God's Sacrifice of His Divine Son.

 

Jolly, who is gay, says being bullied as a child for supposedly being effeminate drove home early on how unjust discrimination is.


This is an illustration of why we should be afraid of homosexuals; for their capacity for self-deception and psychological if not physical abuse: Jolly reacts to "unjust discrimination" by discriminating against Christians and the Mass. Imagine if this spectacle in Paris had made such a mockery of Jews and the Torah.

  

The amorous vibe and impudence were too much for some.

 

“Know that it is not France that is speaking but a left-wing minority ready for any provocation,” posted far-right French politician Marion Maréchal, adding a hashtagged “notinmyname.”


"Far-right." What a horrid thing to say ...

 

Here's a closer look at how Paris both awed and shocked.


 


 

A 21st-century update of Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Last Supper’

 

DJ and producer Barbara Butch, an LGBTQ+ icon who calls herself a “love activist,” wore a silver headdress that looked like a halo as she got a party going on a footbridge across the Seine, above parading athletes — including those from countries that criminalize LGBTQ+ people. Drag artists, dancers and others flanked Butch on both sides.


 

The tableau brought to mind Leonardo da Vinci's “Last Supper,” which depicts the moment when Jesus Christ declared that an apostle would betray him.

 

Jolly says that wasn't his intention.


Tell that to the Marines.

 

He saw the moment as a celebration of diversity, and the table on which Butch spun her tunes as a tribute to feasting and French gastronomy.

 

“My wish isn't to be subversive, nor to mock or to shock,” Jolly said. “Most of all, I wanted to send a message of love, a message of inclusion and not at all to divide.”

 

Still, critics couldn't unsee what they saw.

 

“One of the main performances of the Olympics was an LGBT mockery of a sacred Christian story - the Last Supper - the last supper of Christ. The apostles were portrayed by transvestites,” the spokesperson for Russia's Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, posted on Telegram.


Not a sacred Christian story but truth, in fact. 


“Apparently, in Paris they decided that since the Olympic rings are multi-colored, they can turn everything into one big gay parade,” she added.

 

The French Catholic Church's conference of bishops deplored what it described as “scenes of derision and mockery of Christianity” and said “our thoughts are with all the Christians from all continents who were hurt by the outrage and provocation of certain scenes.”

 

LGBTQ+ athletes, though, seemed to have a whale of a time. British diver Tom Daley posted a photo of himself recreating the standout Kate Winslet-Leonardo DiCaprio scene from “Titanic,” only with the roles reversed: He was at the boat's prow with arms outstretched, as rower Helen Glover held him from behind.

Is that a revolver in your pocket?


 

He's supposed to be Dionysius 

When a giant silver dome lifted to reveal singer Philippe Katerine reclining on a crown of fruit and flowers, practically naked and painted blue, audiences who didn't think he was Papa Smurf may have guessed that he represented Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and ecstasy.

 

Decades after Brigitte Bardot sang “Naked in the Sun,” this was Paris' reminder that everyone starts life in their birthday suit, so where's the shame?


No shame where there's no sense of sin. It's the Novus Ordo effect of which the French bishops and their "thoughts" are exemplars.  


Paris museums are full of paintings that celebrate the human form. Gustave Courbet's “Origin of the World” hangs in the Musée d'Orsay. The 16th-century “Gabrielle d’Estrées and one of her sisters,” showing one bare-breasted woman pinching the nipple of another, hangs in the Louvre.


As if hanging in the Musée d'Orsay or Louvre makes nudity and sodomy okay. 

 

Clad in a golden costume, French-Malian pop star Aya Nakamura strode confidently out of the hallowed doors of the Institut de France, a prestigious stronghold of French language, culture and commitment to freedom of thought. Even without a note being sung, the message of diversity, inclusion and Black pride was loud.

 

The most listened-to French-speaking artist in the world was a target of fierce attacks from extreme-right activists when her name emerged earlier this year as a possible performer at the show. Paris prosecutors opened an investigation of alleged racism targeting the singer.

 

Nakamura performed with musicians of the French military's Republican Guard, who danced around her.

 

Au revoir, closed minds and stuffy traditions.

 

Off with their head!


The guillotine isn't far away, it seems. And once again it's intended for Catholics, who need to prepare NOW for possible martyrdom. Red martyrdom that is, rather than the white variety to which traditional Catholics have become accustomed during the Francis pontificate-which-is-not-a-pontificate, the worst in history. 

 

When London hosted the Summer Games in 2012, it paid homage to the British monarchy by giving Queen Elizabeth II a starring role in the opening ceremony. Actor Daniel Craig, in character as James Bond, was shown visiting the head of state at Buckingham Palace before the pair appeared to parachute out of a helicopter over the stadium.

 

The French love to joyfully tease their neighbors across the English Channel and, perhaps not incidentally, took a totally different, utterly irreverent tack.

 

A freshly guillotined Marie Antoinette, France’s last queen before the French Revolution of 1789, was shown clutching her severed head, singing: “The aristocrats, we’ll hang them.” Then, heavy metal band Gojira tore the Paris evening with screeching electric guitar.

Freedom: Does anyone do it better than the French?https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/paris-olympics-opening-was-wacky-and-wonderful-and-upset-bishops-heres-why/ar-BB1qJQp0


Because seemingly caught in the coils of Satan, the father of lies and a murderer from the beginning, the French evidently believe that slavery to sin is freedom. 

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer (Rom 6,6) 


 

 



 

Catholics and prominent public figures are rebuking the opening ceremonies of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris for featuring drag queens and demonic-looking figures that carried out a grotesque parody of the Last Supper.


A growing number of prominent public figures are rebuking the opening ceremonies of the 2024 Olympic Games in France for featuring drag queens and demonic-looking figures that carried out a grotesque parody of the Last Supper. 

The ceremony was conducted in Paris on Friday night amid light rain. The games are being held in the country despite a surging migrant problem that has resulted in the government bussing homeless people out of Paris to temporary lodging in the city’s outskirts until the games conclude on August 11.

The Olympics’ opening ceremony has long been criticized for frequently incorporating Freemasonic and pagan symbolism. But this year’s performance took on a distinctly anti-Christian tone.  

NFL star kicker Harrison Butker called the Last Supper depiction “crazy” and, quoting Scripture, said “God is not mocked” on his Instagram account.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1816953986114822172 



 

X CEO Elon Musk, who recently told Jordan Peterson he was raised Anglican and is “culturally Christian,” said the performance was “extremely disrespectful to Christians.” 

 


Donald Trump Jr. issued a lengthy X post calling the performance “seemingly Satanic” while lamenting that the games have become an opportunity to “push woke ideology.” 


San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone said the ceremony reflected “secular fundamentalism” having “infiltrated the Olympics, even to the point of blaspheming the religion of over a billion people,” while Bishop Joseph Strickland called it a “new low for our human community.


"The bigotry toward Christians and the blasphemy of Jesus Christ, God’s Divine Son on display at the Olympics is a new low for our human community. Shame on those who produced this mockery, shame on the Olympic Committee and the nation of France for allowing it. This tarnishes what should be the noble celebration of sport and competition. "I urge the athletes not to run for the fading crown of worldly acclaim, instead run for the crown that does not fade, eternal life in Jesus Christ, the risen Son of God: Bishop Joseph Strickland.

 


The French Bishop’s Conference has likewise denounced the ceremony, as has Catholic French politician Marion Maréchal-Le Pen. 

“To all the Christians of the world who are watching the #Paris2024 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 for any provocation,” she said.

 

American Catholic author and podcast host Taylor Marshall theorized that a pope from the Middle Ages would have condemned the games and excommunicated those who coordinated the stunt.  

A medieval pope would condemn the 2024 Olympic games and excommunicate those that did this.

 

Aside from the Last Supper, the ceremony included a depiction of a headless Marie Antoinette, the country’s last queen who was married to Catholic King Louis XVI. Following the bloody, anti-Catholic French Revolution of 1789, which oversaw Louis’s death by guillotine, Antoinette was murdered by the same method in 1793 at the age of 37. 

 

The ceremony also featured a golden calf and a rider on a white horse galloping down the Seine River.  


Vision4the Blind (X): If you have any doubt what is going on at the Olympics opening ceremony A single rider on a pale horse is straight out of the book of Revelation:

"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth." Revelation 6:8
