(LifeSiteNews) — Elon Musk declared on Saturday that “Unless there is more bravery to stand up for what is fair and right, Christianity will perish,” following his condemnation of the Olympics’ mocking of the Last Supper.
On Friday, Musk called the ceremony, in which drag queens and demonic-looking figures were arranged in a grotesque parody of the Last Supper, “extremely disrespectful to Christians.” While Musk has admitted he is not religious himself, he recently described himself as “probably a cultural Christian” and “a big believer in the principles of Christianity.”
He added in his Saturday’s X post thread that he embraces Christian tenets such as “love thy neighbor as thyself (have empathy for all) and turn the other cheek (end the cycle of retribution).”
A couple of Christians replied to Musk’s X comment with the insistence that “Christianity will never perish.” Christ Jesus Himself declared that “the gates of hell will not prevail” against His Church.
Nevertheless, He made clear that Christians are to actively spread and defend the fullness of God’s truth, the Christian faith, calling on His disciples to “preach the Gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). Scripture further declares that “Whoever brings back a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins” (James 5:20).
Bishop Robert Barron of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester wrote in response to Musk’s comment, “My mentor Cardinal Francis George remarked that the Christian faith can be lost in a single generation, if Christians aren’t vigilant. However, it won’t be Christianity that will perish, but Western Civilization. You cannot separate a tree from its roots and have the tree survive.”
Prominent public figures have since decried Friday’s ceremony, including British TV host Piers Morgan, who slammed the display on X as “appalling.”
U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson called the mockery “insulting to Christian people around the world” and declared that “truth and virtue will always prevail.”
Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton wrote on X that the ceremony shows “the transnational Left’s” “contempt for Western civilization.”
