Gustavo Arellano: For some LGBTQ+ Catholics, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are a drag
On Friday, Catholics will celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, a feast day meant for the faithful to reflect on God's love for mankind.
Sadly, love will be the last thing on the mind of too many Catholics in Los Angeles and beyond.
Friday is also the day the Los Angeles Dodgers will host Pride Night and present the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence with a Community Hero Award. The choice to honor the group — whose mostly male members dress in out-there nun habits while doing charity work — has inflamed conservative Catholics like nothing since Nancy Pelosi taking Communion.
The Dodgers under pressure from loudmouths who argued that the Sisters mocked Catholicism by desecrating its holy rituals and objects and by just being. after protests from Democratic politicians and LGBTQ+ groups.
