Several hours before the first pitch was thrown at the Los Angeles Dodgers' Pride Night, a large group of protesters gathered outside the stadium gates.
The religious organization Catholics for Catholics, which has previously described The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence as "Godless" and "Christ-mocking," planned to travel to Dodger Stadium Friday in protest of the Dodgers' decision to recognize the charity group.
Earlier this week, Catholics for Catholics announced its intention to hold a four-hour "prayerful procession" in the hours leading up to Friday's game.
The Sisters will receive the Community Hero Award during a pregame ceremony as part of the Dodgers' Pride Night.
An article posted to the Catholics for Catholics' official website noted that everyone was "welcome to join" the protest.
"All are welcome to join this event in reparation for the offenses committed against our Lord Jesus Christ and against all Christians by 'The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,'" the article said.
Social media videos posted several hours before the start of the game showed what appeared to be thousands of people outside Dodger Stadium with flags and signs. The group also appeared to pray.
Earlier this week, the Sisters said they did not take issue with groups who decided to express themselves through protest.
"After 27 years of activism and protests ourselves, including the ones fighting Proposition 8 for our right to marry the ones we love, we certainly cannot complain about our fellow Angelenos expressing their First Amendment rights," the Sisters said in a statement sent to the Los Angeles Times.
Anyone who was interested in attending Thursday's protest was previously instructed to meet at a parking lot near Dodger Stadium.

Wouldn’t be nice to see 500,000 Christians show up and pray for their souls?
I wouldn’t get too close to a stadium on fag night
You might catch a disease
Some YT videos have “reporters” stating the protestors are in the hundreds. Leaving it to the MSM to downplay the anger at what’s going on inside Dodger Stadium.
I hope that happens!
I buy a ticket to watch a baseball game! Just play the damn game!!!!
Good for these people
Gawd will not be mocked.
You don’t need to show up to pray for their souls...
Jesus said “ come out from among them and be ye separate”....to be there is to condone this activity. It is pure demonic!!!
LGB-—Tyranny
GiBLeTs for short.
Bud Light sales were up
BREAKING - SEE IT: Thousands of Catholics march towards Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, chanting "Save Our Children!" as they make a visible stand for Christpic.twitter.com/FKNNmjRjUq— Simon Ateba (@simonateba) June 17, 2023
This season the Dodgers have the highest average attendance in MLB.
It will be interesting to see if tonight is higher or lower than average.
From the videos I’ve seen so far? We outnumbered them. I did not see any counter protesters. Just Catholics and even some protestants.
That is the image I saw.
Take a look at post 7.
I am pleased as punch to hear about these particular Rowdy Catholics!
