Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr of Cincinnati has issued a statement addressing the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Paris, which took place on July 26, 2024. The ceremony featured a controversial depiction of Leonardo da Vinci’s painting "The Last Supper," which Archbishop Schnurr described as a "grotesque, highly-sexualized parody." He expressed concern that this portrayal mocked the faith of 2.6 billion Christians worldwide and the institution of the Holy Eucharist.
