Just when you believe your news’ feed is worthy of your precious time, today’s journalism strikes out again. Plenty of ink has been spilled on how wonderful the blasphemous opening ceremonies of the 2024 Paris Olympic games were.
First Lady Jill Biden praised it as “spectacular.” Her husband, the president and his vice president, who is now the Democrat presidential nominee said nothing. I was once told by a pious priest, “Silence in the face of evil, is evil itself.”
The ceremonies were not “spectacular” but “sacrilegious.” Perhaps Jill, that ardent Catholic, got her adjectives mixed up. It wouldn’t be a first for a Biden.
The 2024 Blasphemy Olympics opened with a grotesque transsexual parody that mocked the Last Supper of Jesus Christ. There is no other way to describe this blatant perversion.
American Cardinal Raymond Burke said, “That such an event could take place shows us, in a most painful way, how what was once a Christian culture has become the theater of Satan and those who cooperate with his thoroughly evil plans, the plans of ‘a murderer from the beginning’ who ‘has nothing to do with the truth,’ the plans of ‘a liar and the father of lies.’”
Not only did it expose the world’s polarization — politically and culturally – it exposed how deep anti-Christian bigotry is.
In a perfect world, the Olympics are supposed to unite humanity through athletic prowess and international camaraderie. No matter who wants to contest it from editors to event planners, politics has always permeated sports from Colin Kaepernick to Hitler’s refusal to shake the hand of American Jesse Owens to the Romans feeding the Christians to the lions.
Anarchists love to traumatize and browbeat into acceptance of their subversive agendas. Such a blasphemous caricature within the context of the Olympic games is a new low in an era overflowing with moral rot as a growing list of atheists and agnostics hold the reins of power.
What do you think the reaction would have been provided a transsexual Mohammad was mocked?
Blasphemy is a mortal, grace killing sin since it is an unremitting attack against God and His First Commandment.
What was outrightly dismissed among the pagan journalistic crowd was the massive blackout that followed the ceremony affecting all of Paris except the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In Catholic tradition, devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus has been practiced since the 17th century in reparation for sins against God.
Digest that and ask yourself could there be a more fitting symbol of how the light of Christ will not be overcome by darkness. If that is not enough try this one on for size: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:15). How about this: Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. We all reap what we sow. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Galatians 6:7-8.
How far the mighty West continues to fall. Western Civilization is locked away in the ICU while being fed a deadly diet of DEI, and LGTBQ+, that no one even dares to question. This paganistic march is toward total de-Christianization. Yet, while the West turns its back on God, His Church illuminates the abyss, the results of which are explained away as mere coincidence, a failure of overloaded green energy technologies.
It took over a week before any response emerged from the Vatican that was as underwhelming and tepid as they come: “saddened by certain scenes at the opening ceremony.”
The Catholic League was the only Catholic organization to register a formal protest. This is apathy on steroids. The tragedy was not just the outrageous blasphemy, but the absence of any real outrage.
Historical revolutionary undertakings have always pushed their agendas using blasphemy to shock and intimidate into acceptance of their subversive agenda that only continues to push the envelope to more outlandish perversions.
The illumination of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was the greatest story of the Olympics and the press whiffed.
It was a merciful reminder of how God will not abandon those who defend the faith.
