After weeks of high-profile controversy, Dodgers honor Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at Pride Night.
Another protest against the Sisters' involvement was organized in a Dodger Stadium parking lot.
"Friday, we celebrate the feast of Jesus' Sacred Heart," Gomez said in a statement."… We will be praying in a special way for our city and country, for an end to prejudice, and for renewed respect for the religious beliefs of all Angelenos and all Americans. Earlier this week, the U.S. Conference of Bishops issued a statement that said, in part,"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. This is not just offensive and painful to Christians everywhere; it is blasphemy.
