Organizers of the Paris Olympics have issued an apology following backlash over a scene during the opening ceremony that some critics deemed as a parody of 'The Last Supper.' The controversial scene featured drag artists and dancers, drawing criticism from the Catholic church and Christian groups.
The French Catholic Church expressed disappointment, stating that the festivities included 'scenes of derision and mockery of Christianity.' In response to the criticism, a spokesperson for Paris 2024 clarified that there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group.
