News: the Last Supper opening-ceremony controversy and a murdered Lao pastor

  • Am I under-reacting to the Last Supper opening-ceremony controversy?

The news segment covers the Paris Olympics opening-ceremony tableau resembling the Last Supper — the guest saw headlines about a drag-queen depiction, and the host reads a Christian Post article on the ensuing backlash and a 10-minute Paris blackout the next night, with the Basilica of the Sacred Heart staying lit. The host's take: Christians should not be surprised, moral outrage over a painting is misplaced energy, and he would divert zero of 100 Christians doing real ministry to fight this battle — comparing it to the Starbucks Christmas-cup outrage while conceding the ceremony's intent was genuinely subversive. A second Christian Post item gets the real focus: Lao pastor Thankham Pilonva, warned to stop Christian activity, shot dead while feeding his chickens — 'worthy of your focus and time,' with a call to pray for his family.
