By Paul Gondreau, The Catholic Thing -In an interview with The Pillar last week, Arch. Timothy Broglio, the current president of the USCCB, was asked to comment on whether a planned demonstration was an appropriate public response to the decision by the Los Angeles Dodgers to honor the anti-Catholic drag group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. His response, I think, was very unfortunate: “What is more effective? Do you give more attention to the event by protesting it, or do you do better by ignoring it? I would land more towards ignoring it.” He cited “the danger of violence,” for which, he thought, there was “a lot of risk.”

By Mark Lambert, Catholic Herald - Bishop Joseph Strickland was reported to be supportive of a lay initiative to protest the The LA Dodgers Baseball Team’s invitation of a group of anti-Catholic drag queens called the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” to its June 16th Pride Night ... It is instructive that when our shepherds are clear about what matters, lay Catholics will step up. If the Catholic Church simply reflects the culture, it ceases to be salt and light and we shouldn’t be surprised when people lose interest.
