Silence of the Shepherds

The Catholic Experience

In this X Spaces session I discussed the lack of response from the Vatican and other Church leadership (Priests, Bishops) following a controversial drag performance at the Olympic opening ceremony that mocked The Last Supper.

I explore the significance of the silence from church leaders, the reactions from the faithful, and the broader implications for the Church’s role in addressing such secular disrespect.
