Paris Olympics organizers say they meant no disrespect with 'Last Supper' tableau

Publicado 2024-07-29
Paris Olympics organizers apologized to anyone who was offended by a tableau that evoked Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” during the glamorous opening ceremony, but defended the concept behind it Sunday. Da Vinci's painting depicts the moment when Jesus Christ declared that an apostle would betray him. The scene during Friday's ceremony featured DJ and producer Barbara Butch — an LGBTQ+ icon — flanked by drag artists and dancers. Read more: bit.ly/3LMLd9j

    You mention their community wrong. They will sue you for that
  • If it was meant to represent Dionysus then why are they taking all the videos of the ceremony down?

    If they TRULY don’t mean no disrespect and are truly sorry, somebody should take accountability and RESIGN or get FIRED. Christianity cannot be mocked. - 2 Billion Christians ✝️

    The controversy over the depiction of the Last Supper at the Olympics underscores the tension between artistic expression and religious sensitivity. Leonardo da Vinci's painting, created between 1494 and 1498, is a Renaissance masterpiece reflecting his interpretation of a biblical scene, but it needs to be a historically accurate portrayal. Artistic freedom allows for diverse interpretations, and expecting uniformity undermines this richness. The selective outrage by a small group does not represent the broader religious community, especially when higher authorities like the Pope remain silent. The context and intention behind the depiction should be considered, as they often aim to celebrate cultural heritage rather than mock religious beliefs. Constructive dialogue, rather than outrage, fosters mutual respect and understanding. While respecting religious sensitivity is essential, protecting artistic freedom and avoiding the dominance of radical minority views in public policy or creative expression is equally crucial. The world is outraged; this is another example of these complainers' hypocrisy and hubris.

    Those organizers aren’t sorry. If they had sense, they’d know that making a mockery of a religion with people who are living these satanic lifestyles isn’t right!
  • This was all prophesied in the Bible; when the devil sits openly in the most holy place, the end is near.
