“It was with great sadness that we watched during the ceremony in Paris insulting shows about Christianity and the Holy Gospel,” the Ecumenical Patriarchate said.
The Ecumenical Patriarchate expresses its displeasure with the content of the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris with a related announcement, speaking of offensive performances for Christianity and the Holy Gospel.
As he points out, the Olympic Games are a top sporting event, which attracts the interest of millions of our fellow human beings from every corner of the world, and their opening ceremony is of great importance, as it offers to highlight the history and culture of the host country and spread positive messages globally.
“It was with great sadness that we watched during the ceremony in Paris insulting performances for Christianity and the Holy Gospel, but also for every civilized person who recognizes the right to believe and respect religious symbols.
These images not only did not brighten the ceremony, but tarnished it. It is not progress to blaspheme God, nor is it a right to insult the religious beliefs of our fellow human beings. The spontaneous expression of disgust and disapproval on the part of the world, we hope, has sent a sufficiently loud message to the decision-makers and is a source of hope for avoiding similar actions in the future.”
