Actress and outspoken Christian Candace Cameron Bure, sister of Kirk Cameron, is not backing down or budging on her criticism of the drag show segment during the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony, which made a mocker of the Last Supper. The Last Supper is an event of critical importance for those who practice the Christian faith. It’s a biblical event in which the Lord Jesus Christ celebrated Passover with His disciples the night before His crucifixion. During this celebration, Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper, known as Communion, which Christians often celebrate. It’s an important sacrament that imparts the grace of God to believers through the consuming of the Body and Blood of Christ, which brings them into close union with their Savior.
A report published by TMZ reveals that the “Full House” actress published a post on Instagram last weekend calling the performance “completely blasphemous” and “disgusting.” She nailed it with that description. Would the folks behind this production have done the same thing with an event from Islam? I doubt it.
Candance explained she wasn’t just mad about it, but she was sad for the souls involved — saying her heart broke for what broke God’s heart, and she felt bad for those who’ve rejected the gospel of Jesus Christ. When people told her it was inspired by the festival of Dionysus, CCB fired back, “[He] is a god of lust, insanity, religious ecstasy, ritual madness etc. I still don’t see how that relates to unifying the world through competitive sports and acceptable for children to watch.” As we know … Candace is known for her strong opinions on anything that goes against her Christian faith — and this time, the Last Supper drag show didn’t just annoy her, but it riled up a bunch of people from the Catholic Church and other Christian groups.
They were so mad, the Olympic organizers actually issued an apology … insisting the scene was never intended to be a reference to the Last Supper, and was simply about festivities and Dionysus — the Greek god of wine.
And that is why Christians are coming out in force against the Olympic games this year. Believers have been relentlessly assaulted in mainstream culture for a long, long time. Now they’re beginning to fight back. Leftists don’t like it. They were happy with the previous arrangement, which involved them beating up Christians and them just having to take it.
