Christian Europe is alive and attempts to de-Christianize and dehumanize it will not succeed, reads the position of the Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church about the opening of the Olympics in Paris.
"All Christendom was embarrassed and offended by the performance at the opening of the XXXIII Summer Olympic Games in France. The artistic images presented - regardless of the motives declared by the organizers - contradict and are completely incompatible with Christian, evangelical morality, with Christian spiritual life, but also with common sense, with natural human right, with centuries-old European aesthetic criteria, as well as with the classical ideal of beauty - healthy mind in a healthy body, embedded in the idea of the Olympic Games," the Holy Synod's website reads.
"The way of our people is the European way, but we are for a Christian Europe that respects its history and roots," the position also reads.
