Archbishop Vigano, who was recently excommunicated by the Catholic Church for bravely speaking out against its sexual abuse and woke ideology, has issued a statement deriding the Paris Olympic Games for its “vile attacks on God, the Catholic Religion, and natural Morality.”

After describing the ridiculous performance that mocked the Last Supper, he noted: “The opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games have given scandal, not only because of the arrogant display of the ugly and the obscene, but because of the infernal subversion of Good and Evil, the insane claim to be able to blaspheme and desecrate everything, even what is most sacred, in the name of an ideology of death, ugliness, and lies that defies Christ and scandalizes those who recognize Him as Lord and God.”

He called on Christians around the world to boycott the Olympics and all of their sponsors, in addition to asking delegations and athletes to withdraw. He also said that the “homosexual set designer who gave birth to this blasphemous and vulgar spectacle” should return French taxpayers’ money.

Critics slam Olympics opening ceremony

Even those within the LGBT community took issue with the performance’s disrespect for religion. Fitness expert Jillian Michaels slammed the ceremony, writing on X: “Dear fellow gays… We demand tolerance and respect but then make a mockery of something sacred for over 2 billion Christians.

“This type of hypocrisy and lack of understanding is a bad look. We get outraged when the extreme right bashes us, but then we do this s—. What kind of reaction do you think they will have towards the LGBTQ+ community after this. This is NOT how we break down barriers, it’s how you build them,” she added.

A group of more than two dozen Republicans have sent a letter demanding the Olympics rewrite its charter to “ensure that no faiths are the subject of mockery.”

The lawmakers wrote: “There is no place for anti-Christian bigotry at an event designed to bring the world together. The Games should celebrate the athletes, not denigrate anyone’s faith.”

Countless others have joined the chorus of outrage, with Elon Musk calling the display “extremely disrespectful to Christians” and competitive swimmer Riley Gaines writing: “Men in wigs front & center at the Olympic Games. No one ever tell me this group is ‘oppressed’ or ‘marginalized’ again.”

Former President Donald Trump called it a “disgrace,” while his son, Donald Trump Jr. called it “seemingly satanic.”

Organizers issue a weak apology, but they knew exactly what they were doing

A spokesperson for Paris 2024 issued a weak apology, telling reporters: “Clearly there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group. If people have taken any offense we are, of course, really, really sorry.”

And while they are acting like they’re surprised by the reaction, the fact is that they mocked one of the most sacred moments in a faith practiced by more than 2.4 billion people around the world. Backlash was inevitable, and they had to know this would sow division rather than unity.

Bishop Robert Barron of Minnesota accused Olympics organizers of a double standard, asking: “Would they ever have dared mock Islam in a similar way? Would they have ever dreamed of mocking in this gross public way a scene from the Koran? We all know the answer to that.”

“This deeply secularist post-modern society knows who its enemy is. They’re naming it. And we should believe them,” he added.
