The opening of the Olympic Games in Paris was an insult and a humiliation for Christians, said Benoit Saint-Denis, a famous French mixed martial arts fighter (UFC), writing in the French magazine Valeurs actuelles on July 28.
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games caused disappointment not only among numerous spectators, but also among athletes. Among those who expressed their indignation was the French UFC star. He wrote about this on his account on the social network X, which was then broadcast by the French sports channel RMC Sport. In it, the mixed martial arts fighter criticized part of the ceremony organized by the organizers of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
“Disappointed by the insult and humiliation to which the Christian world has been subjected. The games are a time of brotherhood.”said Benoît Saint-Denis.
He did not elaborate on what he did not like. But one could assume, as the publication notes, that the native of Nimes, a city in the south of France, was shocked by the part of the show that apparently depicted Christ’s last meal from Leonardo da Vinci’s painting “The Last Supper.” Instead, what was shown was a gathering of transvestites around the half-naked French singer Philippe Catherine.
Let us recall that Benoit Saint-Denis has expressed his support for the Christian Church on social media several times. He also has tattoos to commemorate his adherence to this religion.
