One of the most striking features of the whole Last Supper parody debacle that has so unfortunately tainted the opening of this year’s Olympics and what is meant to be such a thrilling testimony to human achievement is the way the mainstream media has reacted to it (or hasn’t in most cases).

The BBC didn’t appear to run anything over the weekend about the incident, which occurred on Friday 26 July, until later on Sunday 28 July when it published – slipped in under the radar is more accurate – a very short articletitled “Olympic chiefs ‘sorry’ opening ceremony caused offence”.

It is such a cropped and reductionist piece of writing that it would make even Ernest Hemingway, the great master of pared-down composition, blush.

One of the big mistakes the Christian community made in Nazi Germany, was to remain
silent in the face of immorality.

Let's not duplicate their mistake. Speak out against immorality!
