The 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony has sparked controversy for its segment ‘Festivity,’ which featured drag queens seated at a table in a setup reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘The Last Supper.’

This portrayal has been criticized by Catholic leaders worldwide, including the French bishops, for mocking Christianity.

The segment has drawn mixed reactions, with some viewing it as a celebration of diversity and tolerance, while others, including conservative figures and religious groups, have expressed outrage and disappointment, considering it a disrespectful and blasphemous act.

Dom Lucre, a popular account on Twitter, wrote the following, and included the video:
“The World Olympics organizers have removed the opening ceremony from YouTube due to the recent backlash.

The final straw appears to have been the dancing naked blue man featured in the 2024 World Olympic Games opening ceremony who was seen singing his single “Nu” which translates to “Naked” while being placed in the middle of the red carpet to represent being the ‘dish’ in the drag queen recreation of Jesus Last Supper.

The backlash from Christians appears to have been larger than expected. The singer is French actor Phillippe Katerine dressed as Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, festivity

French people on X, formerly Twitter, seem to view Phillippe as a national treasure and were delighted to see him introduced to the wider world in this peculiar way, dubbing it the result of ‘the French genius’.

One wrote: ‘1 billion human beings who discover Phillippe Katerine in this way, that’s my France’.”

Dennis Michael Lynch retweeted the video, and wrote on Twitter: If this sh*t was poking fun at Allah instead of Jesus, the world would be on fire sorta like Benghazi was after the YouTube video. Well, you get the point.”
