This comes in response to the Los Angeles Dodgers&#8217; controversial decision to honor an anti-Catholic drag group.<\/p>\n<h3>Archbishop Jose Gomez Calls for an End to Prejudice<\/h3>\n<p>Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles has urged Catholics in the City of Angels to pray for &#8220;an end to prejudice&#8221; on the same day that the Dodgers baseball team plans to honor the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group of self-described &#8216;drag nuns,&#8217; at the team&#8217;s Pride Night. Friday is the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Catholic Church, a day that commemorates devotion to the heart of Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group of self-professed &#8220;queer and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pedro-gonzalez-a-skeleton-in-the-transition-closet\/\" title=\"Pedro Gonzalez: A Skeleton in the \u201cTransition Closet\u201d\">trans nuns<\/a>,&#8221; engage in displays of sexualized Christian imagery, including a pole dancing routine on a cross. Their motto is &#8220;Go and sin some more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Join us today as we pray, in a special way, for our city and country, for an end to prejudice, and for renewed respect for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/conservative-beauty-guru-to-launch-make-makeup-great-again-line\/\" title=\"Conservative Beauty Guru To Launch \u2018Make Makeup Great Again\u2019 Line\">religious beliefs<\/a> of all Angelenos and all Americans,&#8221; Gomez tweeted Friday alongside an icon of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.<\/p>\n<h3>Mass for Healing and Renewed Respect<\/h3>\n<p>The archbishop will offer Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels for &#8220;healing due to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/merrick-garland-pledges-to-investigate-prosecute-capitol-rioters\/\" title=\"Merrick Garland Pledges To Investigate, Prosecute Capitol Rioters\">harm caused<\/a> by the Dodgers&#8217; decision to honor a group that intentionally denigrates and profanes the Christian faith,&#8221; the archdiocese of Los Angeles said in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>Gomez and the bishops of the Catholic Church in the United States have urged Catholics across the country to offer prayers in response to the Dodgers&#8217; decision. The team initially disinvited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence following an outcry from Catholic organizations but re-invited them days later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year, on June 16 \u2014 the day of the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus \u2014 a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rand-paul-mlb-might-be-a-little-too-woke-if-league-does-business-with-chinese-communists-while-boycotting-georgia\/\" title=\"Rand Paul: MLB \u2018Might Be A Little Too Woke\u2019 If League Does Business With Chinese Communists While Boycotting Georgia\">professional baseball team<\/a> has shockingly chosen to honor a group whose lewdness and vulgarity in mocking our Lord, His Mother, and consecrated women cannot be overstated,&#8221; Gomez and Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in a statement earlier this month. &#8220;This is not just offensive and painful to Christians everywhere; it is blasphemy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Catholic groups have vowed to protest the Dodgers on Friday ahead of the game, with the group Catholics for Catholics organizing a prayer protest outside the stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the political advocacy organization CatholicVote has launched a $1 million television ad campaign highlighting the Dodgers&#8217; decision to honor the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The organization&#8217;s ad will air during Friday&#8217;s game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[The Dodgers&#8217;] decision to honor a group whose very identity is to defile and mock Catholics and what we hold most sacred and dear is morally repugnant and unacceptable,&#8221; Tommy Valentine, the director of CatholicVote&#8217;s Catholic Accountability Project, said in a statement. &#8220;This would never be tolerated if it was directed at another religion or group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Catholic archbishop of Los Angeles is organizing a prayer day, including a special Mass at the city&#8217;s cathedral, in response to the Los Angeles Dodgers&#8217; tribute to an anti-Catholic drag group.
