BLASPHEMOUS OPENING CEREMONY OF THE OLYPMIC GAMES 2024: It is with a great sense of disappointment and disgust that we pen these words. The Olympic Games, like any international event, is meant to foster growth and unity among all peoples. This aim was seriously undermined by what appears to be a carefully planned assault on the sensitivities of Christians. Complaints have been made from various sources in the Church, as well as from Religious Leaders from other traditions. Anyone who wishes to join in this complaint against what is blasphemous and demand a public apology should send their complaints to the President of the
International Committee using any of the following URLs: https://olympics.com/ioc/contact-us
or https://support.olympics.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new
Go to the website. On the first page under the address you will see (in blue) the words: “Contact
us”. Click on that and a page on which you can register the complaint and your demand for an
apology will open up.
