To say I was "offended" by the Last Supper depiction would be the wrong word. I was grieved by it. It's not something I have any interest in supporting. But God doesn't need me to take offense on His behalf; He's God above all gods and He can handle Himself.
What I *am* offended by is so-called friends gaslighting us over that depiction, and communicating that we don't have a *right* to be bothered by it.
We're not stupid. We recognized the bacchanalia. We also recognized that it intentionally used Da Vinci's Last Supper as a focal point for that, thus turning our Lord's sacrament -- that focal point and remembrance of the self-sacrificial very heart of our faith -- INTO a pagan orgy of self-indulgence. The fact that it portrays a bacchanalia isn't a substitute for its being a portrayal of The Last Supper; it's WHY the portrayal of The Last Supper is a mockery.
