A young Australian has hit out at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony, declaring it disrespected 2.4 billion Christians and was a ‘sign the West has fallen’.
Journalist and entrepreneur Carla Efstratiou took aim at a part of the ceremony which showed what appeared to be a nod to the iconic Leonardo da Vinci painting ‘The Last Supper’ but with people in drag costumes standing in for some positions.
A furious Ms Efstratiou said the controversial scene proved how it has become acceptable to mock Christianity – but other religions are strictly off-limits for parody.
‘The West has officially fallen,’ Ms Efstratiou said in a video shared to social media.
‘Way to just insult 2.4 billion Christians around the world. Maybe I’m not artsy enough but all I see here is a mockery of Christianity.’
‘The Last Supper with Jesus and the 12 apostles and they seem to have recreated it very poorly with drag queens.’
Ms Efstratiou claimed the organisers ‘would never dare do this about Islam’.
‘This is the way Europe is going. You can see it when you go over there. There is respect for every other religion except Christianity… it’s scary.’
