Williams urged ‘my fellow Catholics to reconsider their support of an organization that allows this type of mockery of its fans to occur.’
(LifeSiteNews) — MLB pitcher Trevor Williams has stepped up to the plate to urge Catholics to withhold support of the L.A. Dodgers in the wake of the team’s decision to re-invite the blasphemous anti-Catholic drag group the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” as Community Hero Award honorees next month.
“As a devout Catholic, I am deeply troubled by the Dodgers’ decision to re-invite and honor the group ‘The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence’ at their Pride Night this year,” wrote Williams in a statement on Twitter.
“To invite and honor a group that makes a blatant and deeply offensive mockery of my religion, and the religion of over 4 million people in Los Angeles county alone, undermines the values of respect and inclusivity that should be upheld by any organization,” declared the Washington Nationals pitcher.
“I believe it is essential for the Dodgers to reconsider their association with this group and strive to create an inclusive environment that does not demean or disrespect the religious beliefs of any fan or employee,” he continued, encouraging “my fellow Catholics to reconsider their support of an organization that allows this type of mockery of its fans to occur.”
“I know I am not alone in my frustration, hurt, and disappointment about this situation,” added Williams. “As Catholics, we look to Jesus Christ and the way He was treated and we realize that any suffering in this world unites us to Him in the next.”
William’s tweet was quickly greeted with admiration by Catholics and Christians.

What culture war?
FTR, Williams pitches for the Washington Nationals.
Very proud of this young man. I hope more players speak up.
Didn’t he already apologize?
I can’t find anything about him apologizing. Maybe you can show us your source.
The guy is 100% correct. You can be damn sure that a group called the “Rabbis of Perpetual Nazism” would never be invited to a Major League Baseball game.
Maybe you’re thinking of Anthony Bass?
That’s courageous.
And a lawsuit by ACCB vs LA Dodgerss for sponsoring Hate Crime.
Make it your fellow Christians: we're just as willing to stand for the truth of our faith in solidarity with our Catholic brethren and sistern.
Amen.
I’m not Catholic but I stand with Trevor Williams on this issue... all of us need to stand together against the crazies...
The issue is, what are these ‘nuns’ recognized for?
Nothing. They don’t do anything but drag.
So why are they celebrated?
You're right Alberta's Child...
It’s a porn hate group.... that’s what they do.
So do I.
That was Anthony Bass, gutless Christian.
You will never see these cowards mocking Allah.
