Vatican Issues Half-baked Response to Olympics Blasphemy

David Martin | The Daily Knight

The Vatican has finally broken the silence and voiced its response to the Olympics’ attack on the Last Supper on July 27. The Vatican Press Office issued the following over the weekend.

"The Holy See was saddened by certain scenes at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games and cannot but join the voices raised in recent days to deplore the offence done to many Christians and believers of other religions."

At a glance the statement appears to have an air of remorse, but there lies a hidden agenda. First of all, the Vatican doesn’t identify the perpetrators behind this offense [LGBT drag queens] nor does it cite the nature of the offense [blasphemous attack on the Last Supper]. Why the silence?

Occasion to Push Ecumenism

While admitting the event was wrong, Rome is exploiting it to suggest that we dignify other religions. The statement emphasizes that we shouldn't offend “believers of other religions” but fails to mention that the Olympics ceremony offended God. Nor does it mention that the devotees of the Last Supper – the world’s Catholics – were the ones targeted by this attack. *Other religions do not have devotion to the Last Supper.

The statement continues:

"In a prestigious event where the whole world comes together around common values, there should not be allusions ridiculing the religious convictions of many people." 

Allusions? The attack on the Last Supper was a blatant, malicious, and deliberate commission of blasphemy against the Catholic Church. Where is the allusion? The intention was to mock the Church before the world. Why has this not been acknowledged in clear sound?

And why hasn’t Rome demanded that the International Olympic Committee apologize for this public blasphemy? The committee’s fake apology of “inclusion” and "diversity" holds no water.

The Vatican statement added:

"Freedom of expression, which is obviously not called into question, finds its limit in respect for others."

Not necessarily. If the expression is one of goodness and truth there are no limits, even if it offends the whole world. Catholic truth ‘offends’ most religions, so should we tone it down for them out of ‘respect?’ Rome supports and is careful about not offending LGBT “convictions” but has no problem insulting Catholic convictions.

In short, the Vatican statement is an evasive, half-baked response to the Olympics’ obscene attack on the Last Supper. It doesn’t decry this abomination that offended God and that made a laughingstock of His Church. 

Rome should at least admonish the satanic LGBT group that waged this attack, but Francis refuses to do this. He is against the idea of correcting homosexuals. He is quick to “correct” those who admonish them but will never correct the real offenders.

This raises serious questions.

* We shouldn’t rule out that the perpetrators of this obscene “Last Supper” not only attempted to profane the Last Supper but were putting across the message that the Last Supper is what offends other religions. Many religions indeed abhor the Last Supper, and it could be that these interlopers were simply fueling this contempt by their weird, satanic parody.
