Statement from the Bishop Primus


Following the blasphemous depiction of the Last Supper at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the Bishop Primus has sent the following message to the President of the French Republic.

Mr President,

I write to protest in the strongest possible terms about the blasphemous parody of the Last Supper that formed part of the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games.

France prides itself on the concept of égalité. There was no égalité in the depiction; where was the mockery of Mohammad or Moses? Why was only the Christian faith subject to this attack?

When Notre Dame cathedral was almost destroyed by fire, Christians around the world grieved with the people of France. Now France mocks us and blasphemes our faith.

As President of the Republic you owe Christians an apology.

+ John Fenwick

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.

Press forward. Do not stop, do not linger in your journey, but strive for the mark set before you. Fight the good fight of faith, and God will give you spiritual mercies.

It is also our apostolic mission to enable all our people to develop into effective ambassadors of Christ in the Church and in the world.

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.
