The Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles has denounced a decision by the L.A. Dodgers to award the anti-Catholic “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.”

“The decision to honor a group that clearly mocks the Catholic faith and makes light of the sincere and holy vocations of our women religious,” declares a statement from the archdiocese, “has caused disappointment, concern, anger, and dismay from our Catholic community.”

The archdiocese “calls on all Catholics and people of goodwill to stand against bigotry and hate in any form and to stand for respect for one another and for the religious beliefs of our communities of faith,” it states.

The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights similarly censured the Dodgers for having “officially endorsed anti-Catholic bigotry” by reinviting this “anti-Catholic homosexual drag group.”
