Crookston Bishop Andrew Cozzens this weekend slammed what he described as the"heinous" mockery of the Christian faith displayed at the Summer Olympics in Paris on Friday, urging Catholics to respond to the spectacle with fasting and prayer.US bishops award RM48.3 million in grants from special collection money
The controversial scene, part of the 1.5 billion euros spectacle to kick off the Olympic Games, featured drag queens portraying the apostles and an overweight DJ as Jesus in what appeared to be a part of a fashion show apparently mocking Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting. Yet a week later, he noted, nearly a billion spectators in person and via telecast"witnessed the public mockery of the Mass," in which the Last Supper"was depicted in heinous fashion, leaving us in such shock, sorrow and righteous anger that words cannot describe it."
Cozzens urged the faithful to attend Mass this week with"renewed zeal," to"pray for healing and forgiveness for all those who participated in this mockery," and to"commit ourselves this week to greater prayer and fasting in reparation for this sin."
