The opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics on Friday was particularly spectacular, in what was a form of compensation for the previous Olympics in Tokyo, which took place under the COVID-19 restrictions. The five-hour long event was held under the motto of equality, where alongside the history of Olympic sports and of France – it strove to give expression to the multifarious human fabric.
La ceremonia de inauguración de los Juegos Olimpiadas de #Paris2024 es una demostración de la fealdad del mal.Con esta blasfemia se quieren reír de todos los católicos.Ya es hora de dejar la equidistancia; o estás con el Bien y la Belleza o estás con el mal y la decadencia. pic.twitter.com/wRZdaBhhdm

Social media users slam the ‘disrespectful move’
Many social media users worldwide, and not only Christians, criticized the move and claimed it was disrespectful, sacrilegious, and expressed contempt for religion. The official X, formerly Twitter, account of the Universitarios Católicos wrote in a post: “Sodom and Gomorrah is televised and watched by tens of millions of people live.
Sodoma y Gomorra televisado y visto por decenas de millones de personas en directo.«El mal no puede crear nada nuevo, solo corromper o arruinar lo que las fuerzas del bien han inventado o construido». J.R.R. Tolkien.#paris2024olympics #Paris2024 pic.twitter.com/BdJoTtfPD2
