the oh so politically correct are defending the pornographic last supper of the Olympics because in today's world, accepting those who freely chose to ridicule the good is the latest fashion.
We are told it is inclusivity, but I always remember Gresham's law: That bad money drives out good money.
So when a person sees today's institutions pushing inclusivity, one knows that this means that you are welcome only if you bow to the gods of the latest thing, which in this day and age is to deny that modesty, respect, pietas, and the ten commandments are good. And with a pope who refuses to openly refuse to defend the beliefs of what used to be called normal but are now called weird, it is ironic that it is left to the agnostics like Jordan Peterson or JK Rowlings, to say that the Emperor has no clothing (hmm... sort of like the green naked man in the Paris celebration, where his nakedness with a child nearby in the tableau was normal, and only you bigots (aka normals) are weird to notice.)
Now, if you really wanted an inclusive Good Supper, could I suggest this one by Philippine artist Joey Velasco?
It is Jesus with the street kids of Manila: the kids ignored by the rich in the gated communities, the kids exploited by the sex tourists, and the kids who are vulnerable to be seduced into petty crime and using drugs to get a little pleasure in life.
so how do we help them? Not just by giving gifts, but by supporting the churches outreach to help them, not just by rescuing the kids but by encouraging behavior that strengthens the family... and our businesses are providing rural jobs so people don't have to move away from their villages to try to find work in the cities, where often poverty destroys the family.
