Actress Candace Cameron Bure has expressed her disappointment and sadness over the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, which she believes mocked the Christian faith. The ceremony featured a representation of the Last Supper, which Bure, a devout Christian, found offensive.

Bure shared her thoughts on Instagram, stating that while she respects the Olympics and knows several athletes, this year’s ceremony made her “so sad.” She encouraged her followers to continue sharing the gospel and not grow tired of doing good.

However, Bure’s interpretation of the ceremony has been met with backlash, with many attempting to correct her. Thomas Jolly, the artistic director, explained that the ceremony was meant to celebrate community tolerance and pagan mythology, not mock any religious group.

Anne Descamps, a spokesperson for the Olympics, apologized to those who took offense, stating that there was no intention to show disrespect.

Despite the apology, Bure remains unconvinced, stating that she doesn’t see how the ceremony relates to unifying the world through sports and is unacceptable for children to watch. She hopes her followers will listen to her message and know that God loves each and every one of them.
