Paris Olympics Organizers Apologize for Tableau
Anger over Performance Evoked Leonardo da Vinci
Christian and Catholic Groups Offended
Paris 2024 organizers apologized Sunday to Catholics and other Christian groups angered by a 'kitsch' tableau in the opening ceremony. The tableau, which featured drag performers, was seen as disrespectful and blasphemous by many. The organizers said they "deeply regret" any offense that was caused and that they are committed to "promoting diversity and inclusion." The apology was met with mixed reactions from religious groups, with some calling for further action to be taken.
The tableau in question was part of a larger performance that celebrated the history of France. It featured a group of drag performers dressed as Leonardo da Vinci, Mona Lisa, and other famous figures from French history. The performance was meant to be a lighthearted tribute to French culture, but it was not well received by some religious groups. The Catholic Church in France called the tableau "offensive" and "blasphemous," and said it was "deeply shocked" by the performance.
The Paris 2024 organizers have apologized for the offense caused and have said they are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion. However, the apology has not been enough to satisfy some religious groups, who are calling for further action to be taken. The Vatican has yet to comment on the matter.
