Olympic ceremony's 'Last Supper' sketch never meant to disrespect, says Paris 2024

Paris 2024 organisers apologised on Sunday (July 28) to Catholics and other Christian groups angered by a kitsch tableau in the Olympic Games opening ceremony that parodied Leonardo Da Vinci's famous 'The Last Supper' painting.
The segment, which resembled the biblical scene of Jesus Christ and his apostles sharing a last meal before crucifixion and featured drag queens, a transgender model and a naked singer made up as the Greek god of wine Dionysus, drew dismay from the Catholic Church and the religious right in America.
France, while proud of its rich Catholic heritage, also has a long tradition of secularism and anti-clericalism.
Blasphemy is not only legal, but also considered by many as an essential pillar of freedom of speech.
Supporters of the tableau praised its message of inclusivity and tolerance.
