Response to Drag Show at the Olympics
In this episode I address the controversial drag show at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, which mocked the Last Supper and discuss the pushback I've received on social media. I elaborate on the reaction (and inaction) from the French bishops and how it contrasts to responses from other prominent Catholic figures. I offer my personal thoughts on religious mockery, and advocate for peaceful yet firm responses.
Join me as I explore the implications of this event and call for proper reactions from the Catholic community.
