Chiefs’ Harrison Butker slams Paris Olympics parody of Last Supper: ‘This is crazy’

The intensely criticized display at Friday evening’s opening ceremony featured 18 performers posing behind what appeared to be a long table with the River Seine and the Eiffel Tower sparkling in the background.
Butker quoted the Bible: ‘Be not deceived, God is not mocked’.
In a statement released early Saturday, the group denounced the performance as “scenes of derision and mockery of Christianity, which we deeply deplore.”
“We thank the members of other religious denominations who have expressed their solidarity. This morning, we think of all Christians on all continents who have been hurt by the outrage and provocation of certain scenes,” they added.
One of the more well-known Catholic leaders in the US, Bishop Robert Barron of Minnesota, also called on parishioners to “make their voices heard” over “the gross mockery of the ‘Last Supper.’”
