Catholic group plans for thousands to protest Sisters at Dodger Stadium before Pride Night

LOS ANGELES — A religious organization that calls the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence “godless” and “Christ-mocking” plans for thousands to gather at Dodger Stadium on Friday to protest the Dodgers honoring the longtime charity organization made up of queer nuns often in drag.

Catholics for Catholics, an organizer behind the protest, says it wants to express its feelings on the matter in person and on the Dodgers’ Pride Night, but it wants the event to be “peaceful” and “prayerful.”

Catholics for Catholics announced a “prayerful procession” from 3 to 7 p.m., ahead of Friday’s 7:10 p.m. start of the Dodgers’ game against the San Francisco Giants. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are slated to receive the Community Hero Award during a pregame ceremony as part of the Dodgers’ Pride Night festivities.
