The Dodgers are bringing back their Christian Faith and Family Day in the wake of a controversy around their decision to invite, un-invite, and then invite again the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to the team’s Pride Night.
The Dodgers pulled the sisters from their Pride Night In an interview with NBC4, Donohue said the sisters offend thousands in the Catholic Church.The move sparked backlash among supporters of the sisters, who say they’re devoted to community service, ministry and outreach for marginalized communities.after saying they spoke with the sisters and “our diverse communities.” The team apologized and re-invited the group to Pride Night.
“After much thoughtful feedback from our diverse communities, honest conversations within the Los Angeles Dodgers organization and generous discussions with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the Los Angeles Dodgers would like to offer our sincerest apologies to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, members of the LGBTQ+ community and their friends and families,” the team said in its statement.
The sisters accepted the apology and will accept the Dodgers’ Community Hero Award at the June 16 Pride Night. However, that Dodgers decision also sparked its own backlash. This week, Archdiocese of Los Angeles criticized the team for reneging and called on Catholics to stand together against the team's reversal.
“The decision to honor a group that clearly mocks the Catholic faith and makes light of the sincere and holy vocations of our women religious who are an integral part of our church is what has caused disappointment, concern, anger, and dismay from our Catholic community,” the Archdiocese said in a statement.
