Catholics must speak out against Olympic blasphemy

[Michie]

I’ll never forget where I was when I received the news that Father Jacques Hamel, a French parish priest, had been murdered by two ISIS loyalists. On July 26, 2016, I was in Krakow, Poland, with tens of thousands of young American pilgrims. As word spread, we offered a prayer for Father Hamel. We prayed for peace.

It was unthinkable to me that a priest could be murdered in Europe. And yet, while offering Mass in a suburb of Rouen, not two hours’ drive from Paris, Father Hamel was brutally killed by Muslim extremists. All of France mourned. The next day, a Mass was offered by the cardinal archbishop of Paris for Father Hamel at Notre Dame. Then-president of the French Republic, François Hollande attended. At Pope Francis’ instruction, images of Father Hamel were placed in local churches. He was widely acclaimed a martyr.

Not 10 years to the day of Father Hamel’s murder, the Church in France again finds herself attacked. During the opening ceremonies of the 2024 Olympic Games, a blasphemous depiction of the Last Supper portrayed a woman as Jesus surrounded by drag queen “disciples.”

Catholics must speak out against Olympic blasphemy

Grotesque ridicule of sacred Christian beliefs isn’t inclusion. It’s bigoted and wrong. To depict Jesus Christ and the handing on of the Eucharist in such an obscene way cannot go unaddressed. Catholics must speak up, serenely but clearly.

The Olympic Drag Queen Show Wasn’t Just Mockery

The Olympic Drag Show was a validation of the beliefs of many wayward Christians who have long supported degenerate lifestyles.

Liberals are attacking Christians and telling them to suck it up. What if the Olympics attacked Muslims or homosexuals? Would that be ok?

Hypocrites.

"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first.
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own.
As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
That is why the world hates you."
(John 15:18-19)

God will not be mocked. He will have the final say. Hopefully these “drag queens” repent before they meet their creator.

Glad that the Olympics are over. The games were good, except for the intro, and I am glad that I skipped boxing and do not pay a single cent to NBC or the IOC.

I pray for their conversion and salvation every night, and the same for all the politicians whom I can't stand; the extremist-view lefties; Islamic terrorists; North Korean and Chinese Communists; Russian xenophobes; people entangled in the occult; people entangled in pornography....in short, everyone who is an enemy of the Faith, an enemy of the truth, or who is lost and deluded by the god of this world.

I'm not saying that I'm any better than those people (by a long shot); but if I pray for the salvation of everyone whom I love and care about, then it's only right that I pray for the salvation of my enemies, as Jesus tells us to in Matthew 5:43-45.
