The L.A. Dodgers carried through with their plan to honor the ‘Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence’ with a ‘Community Hero Award’ this weekend.
In response, thousands of Catholics and others showed up to protest the event, mostly through prayer. Critics say the group mocks the Catholic faith, and it’s impossible to disagree when you see these men in clownish nun costumes.
The New York Post reports:
