Piers Morgan slams ‘appalling drag queen mockery of the Last Supper’ in Olympics opening ceremony

Of course Piers had to weigh in on the conversation.

Piers Morgan has expressed his disgust at the “appalling drag queen mockery of the Last Supper” during the Olympic Games’ opening ceremony.

The divisive broadcaster and journalist took to X this afternoon to have his say on the much-talked about ‘religious appropriation’ during the spectacle.

The Piers Morgan Uncensored host wrote: “Btw, what the f*ck was all this about? A drag queen mockery of the Last Supper at the Olympics? Would they have mocked any other religion like this? Appalling decision.”

Followers of the media personality rushed to reiterate his sentiment, with one user commenting: “Olympics committee should be held accountable.”

Another simply wrote: “Embarrassing, shocking and shameful.”

A prominent Catholic Bishop took to social media to criticise the “gross mockery” of the scene.

Bishop Robert Barron, who serves in the Diocese of Winona-Rochester in Minnesota, USA, and runs a YouTube series on Catholicism, said: “France felt, evidently, as it tried to put its best cultural foot forward, that the right thing to do is to mock this very central moment in Christianity where Jesus gives his body and blood in anticipation of the cross.”

He added: “It’s presented as this gross, sort of flippant mockery. France used to be called the eldest daughter of the church. Paris gave us Thomas Aquinas, Vincent DePaul and King Louis IX. France, who sent Catholic missionaries all over the world. France, whose culture is grounded very much in Christianity, felt the right thing to do was to mock the Christian faith.

“A question I would pose – and I think we all know the answer to it – would they ever have dared mock Islam in a similar way. Would they ever have dreamed of mocking in this gross, public way, a scene from the Quran. We all know the answer to that.”

Others on social media took their criticisms one step further than the senior Christian minister, and labelled the performance as ‘satanic’.

The comments were referencing the inclusion of heavy metal band Gojira to the bill, whose performance depicted a rather terrifying-looking lady in red who was holding her own head in her hands.

One X user wrote: “The opening ceremony of the Olympics is not even hiding the satanic rituals anymore.

“There is no longer anything hidden in plain sight. These are the demonic dark forces of Satan who want to eclipse the light.”

Another commented: “Dear Normies, You’re probably sat at home, watching the French Olympics thinking what the actual **** is this.

“Well it’s just another a conspiracy playing out in front of your very eyes.”

They added: “The one where we tell you – the World is run by satanic globalists who control everything. These people do very strange sick things & openly worship Satan or a brand of.

“They love showing this fact off. Do you see it yet? They’re not even hiding it.”

Even highly-controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate got in on the act, posting: “Satanists control the west and they show you that they worship the devil.

“It’s not a conspiracy theory. They literally show you. Are you blind?”
