Despite condemnation from numerous Christian and Catholic groups who say the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence perpetuate anti-Catholic sentiments and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-senate-democrats-honor-drag-nuns-after-dodgers-debacle\/\" title=\"CA Senate Dems honor drag 'nuns' post Dodgers fiasco.\">mock religious nuns<\/a>, the California Democrats went ahead with their plans.<\/p>\n<h3>Outrage from Catholic Groups and Republicans<\/h3>\n<p>Bill Donohue, the president of the Catholic League, blasted the Democrats in the California State Legislature for inviting the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, saying the event &#8220;proves&#8221; the Democratic Party is anti-Catholic.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Throughout much of the last century, the Democrats were the Catholic-friendly party,&#8221; Donohue said. &#8220;That changed in the 1970s, and in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/flashback-teacher-sues-school-board-after-being-fired-he-refused-to-compromise-on-trans-pronouns\/\" title=\"Flashback: Teacher Sues School Board After Being Fired \u2013 He Refused To Compromise on Trans Pronouns\">recent years<\/a> it has become increasingly inhospitable to Catholics. Now it is openly anti-Catholic. This event proves it. The only difference between these California Democrats and the Ku Klux Klan is that the latter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/graphic-pictures-video-hamas-terrorist-opens-fire-in-jerusalem-killing-one-injuring-four\/\" title=\"Graphic Pictures\/Video: Hamas Terrorist Opens Fire in Jerusalem, Killing One, Injuring Four\">promotes violence<\/a>. But non-violent bigotry is not only intolerable, it abets its violent manifestations.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Republicans in the California legislature likewise called the decision to honor Williams &#8220;inappropriate and contrary to the values we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-trump-legal-team-demands-senate-dismiss-impeachment-article-on-eve-of-trial\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Trump Legal Team Demands Senate Dismiss Impeachment Article On Eve Of Trial\">hold dear<\/a>&#8221; and called on Democrats to rescind the invitation, a request which went unheeded.<\/p>\n<h3>Democrats Stand by Their Decision<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the backlash, Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener, an outspoken gay lawmaker from San Francisco, tweeted an image of himself with Williams and other members of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Kicking off our Capitol Pride celebration with the amazing Sister Roma and other Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,&#8221; Wiener tweeted. &#8220;We\u2019re honoring Sister Roma and other badass LGBTQ community leaders from around California.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It remains to be seen whether this controversy will have any lasting impact on the relationship between the Democratic Party and the Catholic community in California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perpetual Indulgence, an LGBT group that incorporates sexualized Christian imagery, to be honored.
