he United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) made an official statement Monday condemning the LA Dodgers’ decision to honor the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (SPI) on the feast of the Sacred Heart.
“This year, on June 16—the day of the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus—a professional baseball team has shockingly chosen to honor a group whose lewdness and vulgarity in mocking our Lord, His Mother, and consecrated women cannot be overstated,” the bishops stated. “This is not just offensive and painful to Christians everywhere; it is blasphemy.”
