Vatican issues statement on 'Olympic Games'
The Vatican, the center of the Catholic Church, has expressed its sadness over the opening ceremony performances of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
The Vatican has issued a statement regarding the opening ceremony performances of the Olympic Games hosted by France on July 26.
The statement expressed sadness over the performances, stating, "In a prestigious event where the whole world comes together to share common values, there should be no ridiculous allusions to religion."
WHAT HAPPENED?
The opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, hosted by France, drew criticism for a "drag queen" performance that was perceived as a depiction of the "Last Supper" painting of Jesus Christ, with critics arguing it was disrespectful to religious belief.
Thomas Jolly, the artistic director of the ceremony, defended the controversial scene by claiming that it was not a depiction of the "Last Supper" painting, but rather a pagan festival.
