Former Los Angeles Auxiliary Bishop Robert Barron on Thursday called on Catholics to boycott the Los Angeles Dodgers over the team’s re-invitation of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (SPI), which he called an “anti-Catholic hate group.”
Barron served the Archdiocese of Los Angeles for nearly seven years. He left last year after being appointed to his current post as Bishop of Winona-Rochester in Minnesota.
“The Dodgers invited this group that I think could only be described as an anti-Catholic hate group,” Barron stated in a video posted to Twitter Thursday afternoon.
Friends, it’s hard to imagine anything more offensive than some of the behavior of the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,” which I think can only be described as an anti-Catholic hate group. pic.twitter.com/VLZP28Soab— Bishop Robert Barron (@BishopBarron) May 25, 2023
Barron described that the Dodgers’ re-invitation of the SPI as being “accompanied by a kind of pathetic apology where [the SPI was] praised for all the great work that they do.”
When giving an example of this so-called “great work,” the bishop described the SPI’s Easter Sunday display “where they had Jesus on the Cross – the most sacred moment in history for Catholics,” and then
a drag queen comes in and kind of pulls Jesus off the Cross and then does a sort of pole dance on the Cross. For Catholics, it’s hard to imagine anything more offensive than that.
