Dodgers honor anti-Catholic drag 'nuns' more than an hour before first pitch inside nearly empty stadium

The Los Angeles Dodgers recently faced criticism for honoring a group of drag performers known as “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” prior to a game. The group is infamous for their anti-Catholic activism, which includes mocking the sacraments of the Catholic Church. Despite the controversial nature of the group, they were given a ceremonial first pitch and invited to sing the National Anthem. What makes this situation even more unusual is that the stadium was nearly empty due to pandemic restrictions, raising questions about the Dodgers’ decision-making process. This incident has sparked a broader conversation about the intersection of activism, entertainment, and religion. While some argue that the Dodgers were simply showcasing their commitment to inclusivity, others believe that the team’s actions were insensitive and offensive to many Catholics. Regardless of where one falls on this debate, it is clear that this incident highlights the importance of considering the potential impact of one’s actions, particularly in the public sphere.
