The group, which dresses 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 \u201cministry\u201d on its website. The Dodgers had planned to present the award to the group during the team\u2019s \u201cPride Night\u201d celebration before their June 16 home game. However, after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/christian-evangelicals-are-americas-taliban-actors-journalists-equate-american-christians-to-the-taliban\/\" title=\"\u2018Christian Evangelicals Are America\u2019s Taliban\u2019: Actors, Journalists Equate American Christians To The Taliban\">receiving pushback<\/a> from Catholics, the Dodgers have removed the group from the list of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nobel-peace-prize-the-most-controversial-winners\/\" title=\"Nobel Peace Prize: The Most Controversial Winners\">award recipients<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Who are the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence?<\/h3>\n<p>The group is made up of men who go by names like Sister T\u2019aint A Virgin, Sister Risqu\u00e9 of the Sissytine Chapel, and Sister Edith Myflesh. They mock the process of becoming a Catholic nun by having members become a postulant, then a novice, and finally a fully professed \u201csister\u201d with a black veil. One of the group\u2019s founders originally used old habits used by real Catholic nuns. Their slogan is \u201cGo forth and sin some more!\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Why was the award cancelled?<\/h3>\n<p>The group has a history of offensive actions towards Catholics. In 2007, members of the drag group tricked the archbishop of San Francisco into giving them the Eucharist so they could defile it. On Easter this year, the group put on a \u201cJesus and Mary-themed striptease\u201d that involved a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dodgers-boot-anti-catholic-sisters-of-perpetual-indulgence-from-lgbt-event-after-controversy\/\" title=\"Dodgers remove 'Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence' from LGBT event due to controversy.\">performer \u201cwrithing upside<\/a> down on a large wooden cross,\u201d according to the San Francisco Chronicle. They also had shirtless men compete to be crowned the \u201chunkiest\u201d Jesus. CatholicVote, a Catholic nonprofit, wrote a letter to the Dodgers protesting the drag group\u2019s award, calling their actions \u201cblasphemous and deeply offensive to Christians everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>What did the Dodgers say?<\/h3>\n<p>In a statement, the Dodgers said, \u201cGiven the strong feelings of people who have been offended by the sisters\u2019 inclusion in our evening, and in an effort not to distract from the great benefits that we have seen over the years of Pride Night, we are deciding to remove them from this year\u2019s group of honorees.\u201d The Dodgers are partnering with LA Pride to put on the team\u2019s 10th annual Pride Night.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Justice was done in the end. There is no room for anti-Catholic bigotry in any gay or trans celebratory event,\u201d<\/strong> said Catholic League President Bill Donohue in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>nuns.
