The L.A. Dodgers are getting reamed for the team’s decision to step deeper into the transgender culture war on America.
A group of transvestites who play-act as demonic Catholic nuns and mock sacred Catholic rites, including the crucifixion of Christ, will be honored by the Los Angeles Dodgers next month during the home game against the San Francisco Giants.
The team’s management invited the hedonistic, anti-Christian transvestites to take part in a June 16 “Pride” ceremony honoring community service of LGBTQ organizations, but the backlash from the public caused the team to uninvited the group.
Then it reversed again, apologized, and invited the group to receive an award.
Less than a week after removing the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence from the list of groups to be honored on Pride Night, the Dodgers did a big mea culpa:
“The Dodgers would like to offer our sincerest apologies to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, members of the LGBTQ+ community and their friends and families,” the Dodgers said in a statement, in which the team also changed its logo to include the LGBTQ rainbow. “We have asked the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to take their place on the field at our 10th annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night.”
The Los Angeles Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence said they accept the apology and will appear to accept their award.
In “Queer Nuns,” author Melissa Wilcox says the group is “a congregation blessed by a dildo dipped in poppers,” or drugs that produce chemical vapors inhaled by homosexuals for their “mind-altering effects” and that “cause a euphoria that can reduce inhibitions, increase sexual drive, and intensify the sensations of orgasm,” according to the National Institutes of Health.
The group uses “yogurt-filled chalices offered at a funeral to represent the intake of semen” and a “Condom Savior Mass” where “participants vow to use protection,” Wilcox writes.

Catholic leaders reacted as might expected on Monday, calling the decision disrespectful of the Catholic faith. Leaders of the faith have long condemned the bigoted and anti-Catholic message being spread by the transvestites.
“The decision to openly embrace a group whose demeaning behavior is anti-Catholic and anti-Christian is misguided and disrespectful to the sisters of the Catholic Church who minister in Orange County and selflessly dedicate their lives to God’s underserved people. We cannot condone any actions that have historically shown such high levels of disregard for the sincerely held beliefs of the faithful,” wrote the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange.
“When did mocking Catholic nuns become America’s pastime?“ the Catholic group CatholicVote wrote.
CatholicVote President Brian Burch vowed to launch a “barrage” of advertising against the team across Los Angeles and in game broadcasts.
“This is a slap in the face of every Catholic,” he said. “We’re raising $1 million as fast as we can, and we will pummel this decision in advertising that the Dodgers can’t ignore.”
“Every advertiser, every season ticket holder, every charity, every fan must speak out against the Dodgers’ decision to promote anti-Catholic hate,” Burch said. “Why does ‘pride’ have to include honoring the most grotesque and scandalous anti-Catholic perverts?”
CatholicVote says 323 attacks on Catholic churches have been reported in the past three years.
A new rash of at least 159 attacks occurred after the draft Supreme Court opinion proposing to reverse Roe v. Wade abortion decision was leaked in early May 2022, with many including graffiti with pro-abortion messages, he said.
The vast majority have only involved property destruction, indicating that the primary motive is not material gain, the group reports on its website in a May 19 update.
Included in that destruction was vandalism at St. Andrew Catholic Church in Eagle River, and Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Emmonak, where a crucifix was smashed.
Sen. Marco Rubio weighed in: “Shamefully, (but not surprisingly) the @dodgers have been bullied into apologizing to & ‘re-inviting’ a group of anti-Catholic bigots,” he wrote on Twitter.
Iin a letter to Major League Baseball Commissioner Robert Manfred. “Today our great country is controlled by socio-political ruling elites who don’t just tolerate anti-Christian bigotry, they encourage [it].”
“Recently, you stated that Major League Baseball needs to “make decisions that are as inclusive and welcoming to everyone as possible, and keep us as apolitical as possible.” I write to ask whether your League wants to be “inclusive and welcoming” to Christians, and if so, why you are allowing an MLB team to honor a group that mocks Christians through diabolical parodies of our faith,” Rubio wrote.
“The ‘sisters’ are men who dress in lewd imitation of Roman Catholic nuns,” Rubio wrote. “The group’s motto, ‘go and sin some more,’ is a perversion of Jesus’s command to ‘go, and sin no more.’ The group’s ‘Easter’ ceremony features children’s programming followed by a drag show where adult performers dress in blasphemous imitation of Jesus and Mary. The group hosts pub crawls mocking the Stations of the Cross and even the Eucharist, the sacrament that unites more than one billion Catholics around the world.”
Anti-Catholic violence is rising. CatholicVote reports that 87 pregnancy resource centers and pro-life groups have been attacked and vandalized since the draft Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked by someone in the Supreme Court one year ago.
“Pro-abortion domestic terrorists have claimed responsibility, and delivered on their promise of a ‘summer of rage,'” the group reports.
