Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, a former bishop with the Catholic Church who has since been excommunicated, issued a statement condemning the offensive opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics in which he also took the opportunity to mock the wives of Emmanuel Macron and Barack Obama. In the statement, Vigano wrote: “It is no coincidence that the one sponsoring this revolting carnival is an emissary of the World Economic Forum, Emanuel Macron, who passes off a transvestite as his own wife with impunity, just as Barack Obama is accompanied by a muscular man in a wig.” Brigitte Macron, who is 71 and has been married to 46-year-old French president Emmanuel Macron since 2007, has long been plagued by rumors that she is a man. The couple met when Emmanuel was just 15 and she was his 39-year-old teacher at a Catholic school in northern France; she has three children with her previous husband who are around his age. In 2022, she filed a libel complaint against a pair of women who claimed she was previously a man named Jean-Michel. The online rumors claim that Brigitte never existed; instead, her brother Jean-Michel changed genders and assumed this identity. They went on trial last month. Michelle Obama has also faced similar rumors, which appear to be fueled, at least in part, by her muscular physique, as noted by Vigano. Comedian Joan Rivers famously joked about this when Obama was president, responding to a reporter who asked her if the U.S would ever have a gay president by saying: “We already have it with Obama, so let’s just calm down.” She then added: “You know Michelle is a tranny. A transgender. We all know.” Vigano latched onto these rumors in his statement to support his point that faith in God is under attack. “Satan creates nothing: he only ruins everything. He does not invent: he tampers. And his followers are no different: they humiliate woman’s femininity in order to erase the motherhood that recalls the Virgin Mother; they castrate man’s manhood in order to tear from him the image of God’s fatherhood; they corrupt the little ones in order to kill innocence in them and make them victims of the most abject wokeism,” he wrote.

Moral decay plaguing modern society

He was referring to an offensive scene during the opening ceremony that featured provocatively dressed drag queens parodying “The Last Supper” as painted by Leonardo da Vinci, a biblical event in which Jesus shared a final meal with his apostles before being crucified. DJ and LGBT icon Barbara Butch was at the center of the performance, wearing a haloed headpiece. Butch was surrounded by drag artists, with one backup dancer appearing to have exposed his genitals during the ceremony, which was viewed by families around the world. Three drag queens were also among the torchbearers who brought the Olympic flame by relay from Greece to Paris. Vigano’s criticism of the Olympics “sacrileges” is just one of many occasions in which he has called out the moral decay of modern society. He was recently excommunicated for being vocal in his conservative beliefs, exposing sexual abuse and other types of corruption in the Catholic Church and calling for Pope Francis to resign after the pontiff promoted LGBT causes. Several other Catholic bishops also denounced the spectacle, with the Bishops’ Conference of France condemning the “scenes of derision and mockery of Christianity which we deeply deplore” and Malta’s Archbishop, Charles Scicluna, contacting the French ambassador to Malta “expressing my distress and disappointment of many Christians at the gratuitous insult to the Eucharist during the 2024 Paris Olympics.” Sources for this article include: X.com LeMonde.fr WashingtonTimes.com
