By Anadolu staff

A Roman Catholic pastor from Ramallah criticized on Saturday a drag queen-led parody of the Last Supper during Friday’s opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, calling it "very dangerous."

In a statement to Anadolu, Pastor Abdullah July said, “There are forces that seek to preserve the external appearances of religion, but empty it of content and fight its values ​​and symbols.”

The reenactment of Leonardo da Vinci’s depiction of Jesus Christ’s final meal with his disciples has provoked a backlash, inviting criticism and denunciations.
