Mocking Christ in Paris
Gloria Romanorum | July 31, 2024 | Florentius

… there is a social media trope out there that maintains that the tawdry performance was not meant to ridicule the Last Supper at all. That it was, instead, merely an attempt to mimic a well-known French painting showing the pagan gods at a Bacchanalian. Those who can not appreciate this homage to French art—so the trope goes—as performed by a bunch of overweight men prancing around in their granny’s flapper garb, are ignorant, uneducated, intolerant, overly-sensitive, and otherwise bad people who can be safely ignored.
