It is wild how obsessed a bunch of retired dudes are about this subject.

There’s like 2 golf threads, no travel threads, fishing / hunting…nada, hiking - nope, grilling…un uh.

There’s a bunch of cross dressers on a bridge during the Olympics opening ceremony in Paris and it’s a meltdown that turns into a WW2 debate (ok WW2 talk is on brand for old dudes).

I picture Maximum Overkill preapproving everything on TV that his kids watch so as to keep them from seeing any LGBTQ content that might groom them and turn them to the dark side. 

And he probably thought the Opening Ceremony of The Olympics was safe until he saw the Drag Queen parody of The Last Supper.

In this country white Christians in particular deserve a little mockery, especially the evangelicals and right wingers, because they always of late act like victims, and they have never been anything but the ruling class in this country. 

Same for homos, trannies, and jews.  They deserve to be mocked at times too.

This is the worst answer in the history of answers:

2)  Because of (1) no authoritative power will ever mock Muslims. 

So you're being disingenuous.  And once the Muslims started going apeshit over PedoMuhammad being mocked, you'd side with them and say no one should mock Muhammad.  You talk a good game but we all know the truth.

Viral Catholic leader: Christians must not be ‘weak’ in the face of Olympics opening spectacle

Bishop Robert Barron told Fox News that Christians must stand up: 'Jesus’ command to turn the other cheek is by no means equivalent to passivity'

Olympics opening ceremony sparks outrage with drag queens parodying Last Supper: 'Dedicated to the woke'

Former NCAA Division I swimmer Paula Scanlan and former Levi's brand president Jennifer Sey react to the Last Supper parody during the summer Olympics opening ceremony on 'Fox News @ Night.'

Prominent Catholic leader and evangelist Bishop Robert Barron rebuked the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics in Paris this week for "mocking this very central moment in Christianity." 

Barron, the head of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester in Minnesota and viral Catholic influencer, posted a videoto X Friday lamenting the startling display of drag queens posing as Christ and his apostles at the Last Supper that was part of the opening ceremony of the summer games in the French capital.

"What do I see but this gross mockery of the Last Supper," Barron told his more than 285 thousand X followers on Friday.

Barron told Fox News Digital that the spectacle of the drag queen "Last Supper" performance was a sign Christians in the West were becoming too passive and "weak." 

 

The controversial display featured numerous performers, including drag queens and a large woman in a halo crown, parodying "The Last Supper," a universally recognizable painting by renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci of Christ and his apostles on the night of Passover before Christ’s passion and death. 

The image sparked outrage among Christians and conservatives online, one of them being Barron, who expressed disappointment that a country with such Catholic heritage would mock such an important event from the Gospels.

"France felt evidently, as it’s trying to put its best cultural foot forward, the right thing to do is to mock this very central moment in Christianity, where Jesus at His Last Supper gives His body and blood in anticipation of the cross. And so it’s presented though as this gross sort of flippant mockery," he said.

The bishop, who recently spoke at a major Catholic conference on the Body and Blood of Christ in the sacrament of Holy Communion, continued, noting how the display is so contrary to France’s Catholic history. 

"France, which used to be called the eldest daughter of the church, Paris, that gave us – Thomas Aquinas taught there, and Vincent De Paul was there, and King Louis IX – St. Louis. France has sent Catholic missionaries all over the world."

Driving home the point, he added, "France, whose culture – and I mean the honoring of the individual, of human rights, of freedom – is grounded very much in Christianity, felt the right thing to do is mock the Christian faith."

Bishop Barron suggested the left is being open about how they are opponents of Christianity, saying, "I think, folks, what’s interesting here is this deeply secularist, postmodern society knows who its enemy is. They’re naming it. And we should believe them."

He then urged Catholics and Christians not to cower or stay meek in the face of such anti-Christian bigotry, adding, "We Christians, we Catholics should not be sheepish, we should resist, we should make our voices heard."

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Barron instructed Christians on how they can push back on this antagonism, stating, "Christians should always resist evil, and I think we have indeed become too weak in the face of our cultural antagonists. Jesus’ command to turn the other cheek is by no means equivalent to passivity, as is evident in the work of Martin Luther King." 

"King used non-violent means to interrupt forms of wickedness that had embedded themselves into our society. Turning the other cheek and going the extra mile are practical strategies for mirroring a person’s injustice back to him so that he might stop what he is doing and repent," he said.

Barron continued, noting, "We should follow the example of King in his battle for justice:  call evil out, name it for what it is, make its negativity known, and endeavor to get in its way." He also stressed how effective social media can be in fighting evil, saying, "I do believe that today the social media give us a means to accomplish all of these ends.  This is why I used my own platforms to resist what was going on in Paris – and I think it was pretty effective."

So is it also ok to mock a lifestyle, or a race?  I wonder if you’d say the same thing if last night the Opening Ceremony mocked gays.  You’d be condemning it as “hateful”, and you know it.

Christians and Catholics not one of the same.  Christians Believe in Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior, Catholics believe in statues, themselves, why they call themselves made man, outing ash on their foreheads like fools.  Praying to Mary and praising her.  Bible even warns them not to have any graven images, never does it say to praise Peter, Paul. Nor Mary.  And no man is made from a church, all creation is made from God.  Amen

Catholic leaders join French bishops in condemning Last Supper scene at Paris Olympics opening

CNA Newsroom, Jul 27, 2024 / 13:00 pm

Bishops and prominent prelates from around the world have joined the French Bishops’ Conference and U.S. bishops in criticizing the Paris Olympics opening ceremony held on July 26 for itsdepiction of the Last Supper, calling it a deeply deplorable derision of Christianity.

The controversial scene, part of the 1.5 billion euros (about $1.62 billion) spectacle to kick off the 2024 Summer Olympics in a rain-soaked French capital on Friday, featured drag queens portraying the apostles and an overweight DJ as Jesus in what appeared to be a part of a fashion show — apparently mocking Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting.

The official Olympics Twitter accountdescribed part of the scene as depicting “the Greek God Dionysus“ making people “aware of the absurdity of violence between human beings.“

In a statement released Saturday, the French bishops expressed deep regret over “scenes of derision and mockery of Christianity, which we deeply deplore.”

I don't want to sidetrack this thread with your continued ignorance of Catholic doctrine or biblical support for Catholic practices.  I'll merely say that Catholics do not "believe" in statues, and prayers to Mary and the other saints are for them to intercede on our behalf to God, not to worship them. 

If you want to continue spouting ignorance, we can do it in your Bible thread.
