“Unveiling the Truth: The ‘Last Supper’ Scandal at the Olympics”

This is the most comprehensive coverage of the Olympics’ “Last Supper” Scandal. I did the research, so you don’t have to! 

I was surprised by how fast the news of the Olympic Opening Ceremony was spreading, and there didn’t seem to be much effort to get to the sources. Every once in a while, I sense that the whole story isn’t being told, which proved true.  

I want to begin by always affirming all people. Regardless of how you identify or dress or what your attractions are, you are created in God’s image and likeness. The Church and I, one of its priests, love you.  

So far, I have read and listened to every press conference, official statement, social media post, and interview that is available…  

I am so disappointed by the news for their lack of diligence, integrity, or effort to get to the actual story. 

So here I am, by no means a “full-time” news outlet with no budget and mass presence, humbly presenting my “research.” 

At the time of writing this… (And this is a little delayed as I was waiting to see if I could get this published). 

No official press release, statement, or recorded interview of anyone associated with the Olympics, including organizers and creative directors, denies the association with the Last Supper. As I will explain below, anything said otherwise is undocumented speculation.  I would be happy if they did, but I cannot find any evidence of it, including their full press conference and pathetic so-called apology.  

One report claims: “For the ‘Festivities’ segment, Thomas Jolly took inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting to create the setting,” producers said in the statement. “Clearly, there was never an intention to show disrespect towards any religious group or belief … [Jolly] is not the first artist to make a reference to what is a world-famous work of art. From Andy Warhol to ‘The Simpsons,’ many have done it before him.”

The only documented evidence indicates that the organizers stated it was based on the last supper. I have seen posts going back and forth. I wish someone in the news could put forth the effort and integrity to actually dig in, perhaps even ask the questions in an interview, and report the truth of this story.  

I was waiting to comment until I found out what was going on. Art is up for interpretation, but it seems they knew precisely what they were doing and still dared to stand behind it, saying it wasn’t intended as a shock piece. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt.   

Unfortunately, they did a press release and did not deny it being about the Last Supper. Instead, they “apologized,” saying, “Clearly, there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group. On the contrary, I think (with) Thomas Jolly, we really did try to celebrate community tolerance,” Descamps said. “Looking at the result of the polls that we shared, we believe that this ambition was achieved. If people have taken any offense, we are, of course, really, really sorry.”. The ceremony’s artistic director, Thomas Jolly, had distanced his scene from any “Last Supper” parallels after the ceremony, saying it was meant to celebrate diversity and pay tribute to feasting and French gastronomy. Paris 2024 spokesperson Anne Descamps was asked about the outcry during an International Olympic Committee news conference on Sunday. 

Jolly said: (Translated) Our intention was never to be impertinent,

or to be subversive; as said earlier, Our idea was simply that with this great diversity, we wanted to collectively include everyone. In France, we have freedom of artistic creation, which is the first article in the law of freedom and creation; I take advantage of it, like with other freedoms we have in France; there was no desire to give a more specific message. In France, we can love who we want, how we want. In France, we can believe or not believe, and l wanted to convey those values throughout the ceremony.

Notice the values? This is the continued anti-Christian, so-called inclusive, hyper-focused on transgender and identity politics. If nothing else is clear, this agenda is crystal clear.  

But Crux, a US-based Catholic news service, reported that French drag queen and rapper known as Piche from the show Drag Race France said the parody was “not a provocation” as it was a “biblical representation that has been reused in pop culture for decades.”

“I received a lot of messages of support from people who were very happy that I was there and very surprised that there were drag queens at the opening ceremony,” he told BFM. He added that the opposition to the performance indicated, “we’ve succeeded, and we’ve done what had to be done, that we’ve been fair and representative.”

“Art always divides. As long as it doesn’t move people, it’s not art for me. There were no real provocations or anything that was truly obscene,” he said. “We didn’t make fun of the painting at all…it’s really just because it’s queers and drag queens who use that representation that it bothers.”

Art doesn’t always divide.  Do you know who always divides?  Satan.  I thought the inclusivity was supposed to unite us. 

According to her Instagram profile, Butch is “a Love activist, Dj, and producer based in Paris. My aim is to unite people, gather humans & share love through music for all of Us to dance & make our hearts beat (in unison)! Music sounds better with all of Us!”

Butch posted an image of the drag parody of the Last Supper above an image of Da Vinci’s original painting to her Instagram account with the comment, “Oh yes! Oh yes! The new gay testament!” The post was subsequently deleted.

Could the “actors” have meant to demonstrate something completely contrary to the artistic director? Again, I’m not a reporter and have no way to ask anyone, but it seems hard to believe.  

To those on the opposite extreme who are threatening her life, you have fallen under the spell of Satan.  All people are created in God’s image and likeness, which is irrevocable.  

Now, here is the magic art of deception. 

CBS News correspondent Elaine Cobbe reports that the specific part of the ceremony that caused the offense was, in fact, a scene depicting Dionysus, the Greek god of wine. It was reportedly based on The Feast of the Gods, a 17th-century painting by Dutch artist Jan Harmensz van Biljert that hangs in the Magnin Museum in Dijon, eastern France. The painting depicts an assembly of Greek gods on Mount Olympus for a banquet to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. The figure seated at the table in the center has a halo of light behind his head. 

Unfortunately, you guessed it, this was never mentioned by anyone from the Olympics; rather, it seems like speculation from Cobbe, and that speculation has spread like a reverse wildfire across social media.  

“For the ‘Festivities’ segment, Thomas Jolly took inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting to create the setting,” producers said in the statement. “Clearly, there was never an intention to show disrespect towards any religious group or belief … [Jolly] is not the first artist to make a reference to what is a world-famous work of art. From Andy Warhol to ‘The Simpsons,’ many have done it before him.”

This is also undocumented, and I have yet to trace it back to any statement or video interview. Just like everything else, it has been repeated and picked up by other “news outlets,” directing you to the French article with the attached video in which he never says any of this.  

This is what was said at the press conference (and was in English): 

“My wish isn’t to be subversive, mock, or shock,” Jolly said. “Most of all, I wanted to send a message of love, a message of inclusion and not at all to divide.”

The only contradictory message that I could find was this statement in a French interview: (Translated) “Then, in a Sunday interview

 with French broadcaster BFMTV, Jolly admitted he “wanted to be very theatrical.” He also provided apparently contradictory context to the statement given by Paris 2024 producers that same day.

“It’s not my inspiration, and that should be pretty obvious. Dionysus arrives at a table. Why is he there? First and foremost because he is the god of celebration in Greek mythology and the tableau is called ‘Festivity,'” Jolly said, translated to English. “He is also the god of wine, which is also one of the jewels of France, and the father of Séquana, the goddess of the river Seine. The idea was to depict a big pagan celebration, linked to the gods of Olympus, and thus the Olympics.”

However, when you watch the interview to which the article is reporting he doesn’t say any of this! It does seem that Dionysus is arriving at a table…that part seems self-explanatory. But why are these figures dining in the background? Why not issue a statement declaring that this was not mocking the Last Supper but was, as many say, a pagan celebration?

And now we have the virtue-signalling, haughty educated parroting the same phrase across social media as if they are geniuses: “Tell me you don’t know about art or history without TELLING me you don’t know about art or history.”  History and even news seem to be whoever yells something louder.  

 It might have been inclusive had they included one of the city’s saints. Why they couldn’t have made it an “inclusive” Greek banquet instead of seemingly referencing the Last Supper, I’m not sure as that would have made sense, nor am I sure what any of this has to do with inclusion at the Olympic games. Other than now, we have the first official So you don’t have to apologize “for others misinterpreting it,” as they clearly don’t mean to apologize.  

Is an apology necessary? Isn’t there freedom of speech? Yes, but it seems to me that he is gloating about “the freedom to love who we want, how we want. The freedom to believe or not believe” Why not stick to your pagan beliefs? What does this have to do with sports? How is any of this bringing about unity? Artists have the right to express what they desire, but true artists represent truth, goodness, and beauty. 

You also have the right to be disgusted by the so-called art and the continued irresponsibility of the news.  This episode displays Satan in creative acts of twisting, tricking, and throwing continued profanity right in our faces.  As the Catechism of the Catholic Church makes clear: “Blasphemy is contrary to the respect due to God and His Holy Name.  It is in itself a grave sin.  Once more, France, Europe in general, pop culture, the Olympics, and all this continued propaganda of inclusion have definitely missed the mark.  Let the games continue, but Christ reigns victorious.  He has been mocked and humiliated before and will continue to be until the day of judgment.  

In this day of AI image generation, fake news or rather lazy news, lack of transparency, and mixed messages, I’ll let God be the judge.  So, for the bishops and priests, who may have jumped the gun, we can now make an act of reparation together: 

Let us not forget there is a real battle going on. Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for [someone] to devour.  At the same time, Christ has conquered Satan, and we have nothing to fear.  

Let the comments ensue, but please do your research and give me actual sources. I’ll be grateful that perhaps social media can truly do what the news fails so miserably.  

I love you all regardless of what has happened or continues to happen; you are unconditionally loved by me and by the Father.  But the deceiver is not.  Let us love one another.
