CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis received Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, on January 23.

In the past, the International Olympic Committee has released statements on meetings between the Pope and Bach (2013, 2022), but did not do so after the January 23 meeting. Last summer, a drag parody of the Last Supper at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics was followed by a muted Vatican response.
