The organizers of the Paris 2024 Olympics issued an apology on Sunday to Catholics and other Christian groups who were offended by a parody tableau of Leonardo Da Vinci's The Last Supper. The controversial segment, featured in the opening ceremony, recreated the biblical scene with drag queens, a transgender model, and a naked singer made up as Dionysus. The French Catholic Church's conference of bishops had described it as "scenes of derision and mockery of Christianity."
