The 2024 Paris Olympics continues to spark controversy for its treatment of the Christian world.
After a brazen and insulting opening ceremony mocking Leonardo da Vinci’s “Last Supper” with drag queens and unashamed nudity, French authorities are now taking it upon themselves to arrest anyone who dares protest this display.
The Christian Post reports six Christians were arrested in Paris on Monday for riding around the city in a bus displaying a message openly against the ceremonies.
The six are a part of CitizenGO, an advocacy group based out of Madrid.
CitizenGO displayed the message, “STOP ATTACKS ON CHRISTIANS” on the bus and posted to X information relating to the arrests made via their official account.
Footage shows the bus being taken away via police escort while CitizenGO correctly stated, “This is clearly anti-Christian persecution from French authorities.”
The French Police unjustly arrested us! All we did was spread the message “STOP ATTACKS ON CHRISTIANS!” through text on a bus. There is nothing illegal or wrong about this. This is clearly anti-Christian persecution from French authorities @prefpolice.

One member of CitizenGO commented on the situation from inside a police van.
“They found some kind of reason why we cannot have this van over here,” the member said. “This seems like it’s obviously about the message.
“It seems like it’s an ideological attack against CitizenGO.”
In a post from Tuesday, CitizenGO founder Ignacio Arsuaga made a lengthy statement about the situation providing a timeline of events and a statement by the organization’s lawyer.

The Christian Post reported that Arsuaga has not provided evidence that this action was the result of a French prosecutor directed by President Emmanuel Macron.
Despite some of the specifics being unsubstantiated at this time, his message should still resonate deeply with fellow Christians.
“This incident underscores the need for citizen action in defending life, family, and freedom against political and ideological persecution. United, we can confront such injustices and safeguard our fundamental rights,” he explained.
It seems that the French did not do enough in spitting in Christian‘s faces, but now also wish to suppress their ability to speak on the matter.
CitizenGO deserves commending, stating of the situation, “this is anti-Christian political and ideological persecution.”
As they put it in another X post of the French government, “They are tyrannical, anti-Christian bullies.”
These six did not take to the streets to loot, destroy, or inflict pain. Yet, they did not let the Olympics message go unchallenged.
Their actions were peaceful, but bold in saying we must stand up for Christ.
Blatant mockery and insults of Christian doctrine should not be accepted as the norm.
Being one of the six people arrested, I would make sure not only France, but all of Europe (and the world) .would know who I am. If I had the money, (and ignorance), to go to France (for ANY reason, because anyone who knew France for what it is would never waste the time, effort, nor energy, [let alone money]), I would find a way to get to Peron, assassinate him, and then find my way to every other European head of state, assassinate them, and make the world realize: Although a ‘Christian’, we’re not doormats, and there’s a ‘price to pay’ for arresting anyone practicing their 1st Amendment rights, (according to the Constitution of their country).
Contrary to popular believe, (and what the Catholic ‘church’ has preached for centuries), when God sent down the 10 commandments, one of those was NOT ‘Thou shalt not kill’. The commandment commanded, ‘Thou shalt not murder’, and it is there where it’s a marked difference, and one where you do not have to go any further than the Bible itself to find dozens of examples of righteous killings, ALL blessed by God.
It’s time Christians found their true purpose in life, stop being doormats, displaying a pacifist attitude, and stood up proactively for their faith. The days of martyrdom are over! Find your enemy and KILL him. You can’t call it ‘murder’ when (in reality) it’s (technically) an international public service.
F the French. They have been nothing but trouble. S/D the French embassy here and the US embassy there. They and Demoncrats got us into the Vietnam Conflict. They hate Christians, worship Satan, and let men beat up women and call it sport! Pull the US out of the Olympics! Get THE US out of the UN and get the UN the hell out of the US!
The west is fastly becoming a modern day Sodom and Gommorah.
I have yet to meet a Christian. Just because someone claims to be one, does not mean they are.
All I’ve ever met are Chrino’s, who would not recognize Christ and would be amongst the first to call out “Crucify Him!” These people, from the article, (and many of the commenters) are the same.
If you understand what a RINO is, then you know what a CHRINO is.
Should have let the nazis keep france
