“I ask forgiveness if I have offended”, Philippe Katerine presents his apologies

It was a blue, and almost naked, Philippe Katerine who appeared on the screens of millions of spectators on Friday, July 28, during the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The scene, representing the Greek god Dionysus, had been censored in several countries. In France, the very next day, the Conference of Bishops of France had published a press release deploring scenes of “mockery of Christianity.”

In an interview with CNN, the French artist apologized for this.

“I apologize if I have offended”

I’m really sorry if this caused any shock because that was not the intention at all,” explains the singer. Philippe Katerine then confided that he had received a religious education.I was raised in the Christian religion, and the beautiful thing about this religion is forgiveness. I ask forgiveness if I have offended. The Christians of the world will grant it to me, I am sure.

The singer of the song Nu then made it clear that there had been a general misunderstanding about the inspiration for this sequence of the painting called “Festivities”.They will understand that it was mainly a misunderstanding, about religion, the painting of the Last Supper. No, it was about Dionysus.” he adds.
