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.
