"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.

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
After that shit not watching any of it. Sick fu.kers

ReplyDeleteThat s**t belongs in gay clubs and likewise not Olympic games openings ffs..look at past cermonies least they were half decent
ReplyDeleteChristians playing victim and making everything about themselves once again. If they read a book instead of banning them they'd perhaps realize that it has nothing to do with the last supper. Do they not know their own art? Also, Leonardo da Vinci was gay/bi? and wore a dress and robes. 🤡

Amy Ray You're entitled, of course, to believe that the Olympic exhibition had nothing to do with the Last Supper (the first Mass), and the rest of your comment displays an ignorance of the facts which explains your naivety.
Da Vinci wore a dress (sic) because at that time everyone wore a 'dress', and when making an assertion about his sexuality you need to quote your reference so that it can be judged for credibility.
Obscenity.
DeleteObscenity does nothing to promote your case. "Repent and believe the gospel" (Mk 1,15) before it's too late. God bless you, and thank you for reviling me.
DeleteI don’t understand that the last supper was a Jewish Passover why are they mentioning only Christianity and not interviewing the Jewish community something smells a bit fisher here was this planned so everybody puts their eyes on this disorder of the Last Supper so they can plan a possible worldwide lockdown for the next bird flew or is this a distraction for something else like the shooting of Donald Trump why what looks like a trans person
ReplyDeleteThe Last Supper was held in the Jewish tradition, by Jews (Jesus Christ and His apostles) but its tremendous significance for Christians as the first Holy Mass is of course denied by Jews, who crucified Christ. This event was planned by a Jew, who denies any intention of insulting Christ and the Catholic Church, but the blasphemous insult to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass has been made, nonetheless.
DeleteCatholics and Christians need to pray for its perpetrators and make reparation to Christ.
GOD will not be mocked.

Pushing along the trans agenda 🤢🤮
ReplyDeleteExcellent blogspot read - thanks Julia 🙏
ReplyDeleteWe, the laity, are engaged in acts of reparation, although probably not enough. We do not know whether the Bishops are praying and also making acts of reparation. We pray they are.
ReplyDeleteAnd meanwhile in our country, men get periods
ReplyDeleteThe Priests at the Parish I attend haven’t even said a word.. Not even the Monsignor!
ReplyDeletePar for the course.
DeleteHere's a priest who DID have something to say! In his sermon the morning after. Go straight to it if you don't have time to "attend" his Mass.

May God have mercy on us all
ReplyDeleteIt's strange that the only country in contention who could stage the Olympics next and make reparation by re enacting a faithful representation of the last supper is Russia. Imagine that, a tribute to the Christian competitors and community!
