The group, made up of men who dress in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/l-a-dodgers-will-honor-drag-group-mocking-catholics-sisters-of-perpetual-indulgence\/\" title=\"L.A. Dodgers to recognize drag group that mocks Catholics: 'Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence'.\">drag queen versions<\/a> of Catholic religious habits, claims to have a &#8220;ministry&#8221; and mocks the process of becoming a Catholic nun. <\/p>\n<h3>Who are the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence?<\/h3>\n<p>Members of the group go by names like Sister T\u2019aint A Virgin, Sister Risqu\u00e9 of the Sissytine Chapel, and Sister Edith Myflesh. The group also mocks the process of becoming a Catholic nun by having members become a postulant, then a novice, and finally a fully professed &#8220;sister&#8221; with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fact-check-does-this-image-show-a-man-in-a-burqa-during-a-pro-taliban-event\/\" title=\"FACT CHECK: Does This Image Show A Man In A Burqa During A Pro-Taliban Event?\">black veil<\/a>. One of the group\u2019s founders originally used old habits used by real Catholic nuns. &#8220;Go forth and sin some more!&#8221; is the group\u2019s slogan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are more than just another community service organization: we are Sisters. As with our more traditional counterparts, nearly all of us felt a genuine calling to do this work. There is room for a lot of fun in the Order, but we take our callings and our vows very seriously,&#8221; the group\u2019s website says.<\/p>\n<h3>Outrage from Catholic Organizations<\/h3>\n<p>CatholicVote, a Catholic nonprofit, wrote a letter to the Dodgers expressing outrage over the team\u2019s decision to honor the drag group and demanding their invitation be revoked. &#8220;The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (SPI) are an anti-Catholic hate group which exists to desecrate and degrade the Catholic faith. Their sole mission is to disgust Christians with the most grotesque acts they can imagine,&#8221; CatholicVote wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Since May 2020, there have been at least 255 anti-Catholic attacks on Catholic churches, according to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). The attacks include arson, statues beheaded or otherwise vandalized, and gravestones defaced with swastikas and anti-Catholic language.<\/p>\n<h3>MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred to be Contacted<\/h3>\n<p>Catholic League President Bill Donohue called the group an &#8220;obscene anti-Catholic group&#8221; and said he is writing to Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Rob Manfred about the situation. &#8220;Don\u2019t believe the lie that the \u2018Sisters\u2019 mean no harm,&#8221; Donahue said in a statement, adding that the Dodgers have &#8220;besmirched their legacy of combating bigotry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In 1947, the Brooklyn Dodgers made history by naming Jackie Robinson to its roster. He was the first black man to play Major League Baseball (MLB). Now it is in the business of promoting bigotry, not fighting it. By rewarding anti-Catholicism, the Dodgers have broken bread with the most despicable elements in American society today,&#8221; Donahue said.<\/p>\n<h3>LA Pride to Present Award<\/h3>\n<p>The Dodgers will partner with LA Pride to present the &#8220;Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence&#8221; with their award during the team\u2019s &#8220;Pride Night&#8221; celebration before their June 16 home game. &#8220;Dodgers co-owners and LGBTQ+ legends, Billie Jean King and Ilana Kloss, will honor multiple activists and organizations throughout the night,&#8221; LA Pride said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: 'Pipeline' to Obama Admin Seen as 'Currency'\">press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>LA Pride President Gerald Garth &#8220;will be joined by the LA chapter of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, which will receive this year\u2019s Community Hero Award,&#8221; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/michelle-obama-matthew-mcconaughey-fauci-and-others-team-up-for-nbc-vaccination-special\/\" title=\"Michelle Obama, Matthew McConaughey, Fauci, And Others Team Up For NBC Vaccination Special\">press release added<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen whether the Dodgers will revoke the invitation to the group or proceed with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/when-the-media-tries-to-wash-their-hands-of-andrew-cuomo-remind-them-of-these-comments\/\" title=\"When The Media Tries To Wash Their Hands Of Andrew Cuomo, Remind Them Of These Comments\">award ceremony<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers will present the &#8220;Community Hero Award&#8221; to the Los Angeles chapter of the &#8220;Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence&#8221; next month.
