The International Olympic Committee has removed from the official accounts of the Paris Olympic Games the video of the opening ceremony, during which performers, including drag queens, staged a parody of Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper', depicting Christ and His apostles.
The video is currently unavailable on both YouTube and the official Olympics website.
As the UOJ previously reported, many well-known political and public figures from around the world expressed outrage over this travesty.
In addition, the bishops of the Roman Catholic Church in France published an official press release regarding the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Games, condemning the "scenes of mockery and derision of Christianity."
