Candace Cameron Bure criticized the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony, claiming the event “mock the Christian faith.” Some other celebrities also expressed their views, with one suggesting it even celebrated evil.

The 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony is facing backlash on social media, including criticism from actress Candace Cameron Bure. She expressed her disappointment in an Instagram video, claiming the ceremony mocked Christian beliefs, as it included a portrayal reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper.”

In the clip, Bure initially hesitated to comment on the Olympic opening ceremony because she didn’t want to become a headline. However, she felt the issue was too important to stay silent, so she decided to share her thoughts despite the risks.

Bure mentioned her connection to the Olympics, noting that her husband, brother-in-law, and father-in-law are all medalists and that they all love the Games. She also fondly remembered watching marathoners during the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics as a child.

Reflecting on this year’s Olympics, she said, “So, to watch such an incredible and wonderful event that’s going to take place over the next two weeks and see the opening ceremonies completely blasphemed and mock the Christian faith with their interpretations of the Last Supper was disgusting. And it made me so sad.”

Bure’s statement came after the Olympic Games explained the opening ceremony’s meaning in a post on X, formerly, Twitter. They said, “The interpretation of the Greek God Dionysus makes us aware of the absurdity of violence between human beings.”
