I truly love baseball. But more than baseball, I love God. Given the decision between being a fan of any sports team and supporting my religious beliefs, I know that God is my real captain and I will always choose my faith. And I believe that when push comes to shove, most people feel the same. I also recognize that it is my religious obligation to support other people of faith in their journey.
Which is why I am so sad that I will not be attending baseball games thanks to the irresponsible management of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Major League Baseball, following the team’s blatant attack on Catholics by deciding to honor one of the most public anti-Catholic fringe groups in the country, “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.”
For those unaware of this group, or the circumstances leading up to this decision, here is a brief synopsis of the last few weeks. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is an organized group of transvestites that consciously encourages hate against Catholics, Catholic clergy, and the Catholic Church through demonstrations where their male members dress as nuns and espouse hatred towards Catholicism. They preach “go forth and sin more,” have names like “Sister Broken Hyman” and “Father Fellatio,” and have made “saints” of Harvey Milk, Kathy Griffin, and Gavin Newsom. Catholic League President Bill Donohue has called them “an obscene anti-Catholic group” of “bigots known for simulating sodomy while dressed as nuns”, and they have been decried by Catholic leaders around the world from archbishops to politicians. On May 15, MLB and the Dodgers announced that they would be honoring this group and presenting them with the “Community Hero Award” at the Dodgers LGBT Night on June 16.

Why is it that it takes people so long to understand these institutions hate us?
Pandering to women is killing male sports. Whether as spectators, reporters, or referees/umpires.
Yep.
Our local minor league team had a “pride night” recently.
I am trying to find out what attendance was. Given their fan base usually is families, grandparents, etc... I can’t imagine it was good
Gave up on the God less commies years ago. Grew up diehard Red Sox fan, hate John Henry.
I was friends with a guy who was a Senior in high school when I was a Junior. He went on to play 2nd base on the World Champion New York Mets in 1969. Boy was he good in high school.
I didn’t get to see him play with the Mets because I was overseas in what was known as WESTPAC. We could get up at 3 a.m. and listen to it on Armed Forces Radio but few of us ever did because the Navy worked us all pretty hard back in the late sixties and most of us young punks were just plain old tired.
Anyway, in about the mid seventies, I lost interest in Major League Baseball at a time when “woke” had to do with getting up in the morning. Today, it disgusts me and I laugh at friends who spend the money or the time watching these jokers.
Testimonies given during the scandal were that Major League Baseball higher ups were fully aware of the steroid use and even encouraged it because they needed the home runs to attract fans back to the game.
this is a little bit from the homosexual leftist extremists who mock Christ and Catholicism and are welcome in the Dodgers Stadium
I quit in the mid 80s.
Other than the 2016 world series I haven’t paid attention to baseball since the strike in 1994.
[“The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.”]
And then there’s “The Sisters of the San Diego Padres Woke Baseball Uniforms”
(or so they should be called)
I couldn’t care less about any sports - They’re making Guppy Troup look like good fashion
And they’re continuously going stupid
Dale Murphy was a sophomore when I was a senior at the same high school, but I don’t remember him at all. Never been a baseball fan.
“The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” are some of the most creepy looking things I have ever seen. They absolutely look like evil incarnate and those perverts should never be allowed within 300 feet of minor children.
Pretty freaky looking they are - even for that kind of group
Satanists - is what they appear to be IMHO
I’m a Reds fan. When I saw this yesterday I said I’m not going to watch or listen to the Reds when they play the Dodgers anymore but that’s only 6 or 7 games a year. Won’t watch the Dodgers anymore which at this time probably means not watching aspects of the season, the playoffs and World Series. Maybe I’m not going far enough. The Reds do an annual gay day and were kneeling 2 or 3 years ago. Would that many of us Catholics defended our faith like this Rabbi. I’m a work in progress and the boycotting of baseball may be arriving with me shortly.
I stopped giving a S about baseball around the same time the kneelers started in football. Once you break the habit of one, the others fall like dominos. If all conservatives started boycotting their games, the NRA, Family Research Council and Susan B. Anthony List would all be throwing out the first pitches.
Baseball has been one of the pleasures of summer as long as I can remember. My town has a team that is part of a collegiate league. The ballpark is a five-minute walk from my house. The tickets and the beer are cheap. They live stream the games. It isn’t like watching the big-leaguers, but these kids aren’t getting paid millions of dollars to play. That’s how I am getting my baseball fix. They have special nights, but no woke stuff. Even though this is a blue part of Indiana, that stuff won’t fly here.
“Satanists”
They make me think of a quote of a Catholic woman probably on her way to being declared a saint:
“When sex is treated lightly, as a means of pleasure ... it takes on the quality of the demonic, and to descend into this blackness is to have a foretaste of hell”
-The Servant of God Dorothy Day (1897-1980)
