Catholic Bishop Robert Barron: I love the Olympics, so I watch the Olympics ceremony. What do I see? It’s Paris, France, the city I love. I spent three years there as a doctor. And what do I see but a great mockery of the Last Supper? I’m not going to describe it, it’s all on the Internet, it’s gone viral, you can see it. But France obviously felt that in trying to best reflect its cultural position, the right thing to do is to mock this central moment of Christianity, when Jesus gives his body and blood at the last supper on the threshold of the cross. And what’s presented is a big, terrible mockery. France, which is called the eldest daughter of the Church, Paris, which gave us Thomas Aquinas, Vincent de Paul, King Louis IX, Saint Louis. France sent Catholic missionaries all over the world. France, whose culture, and I mean the honor of the individual, human rights and freedom, is very much based on Christianity, thought that the right thing to do was to ridicule the Christian faith...
